Oil tank removal in Milford CT is common across the city's diverse housing stock — from pre-war shoreline neighborhoods where above-ground basement tanks are typical, to postwar inland subdivisions where underground tanks from the 1950s and 1960s are more common. Above-ground removal costs $500–$900; underground costs $1,500–$4,000.
