How We Removed a 500-Gallon Buried Propane Tank in Corrales, NM

Helping Homeowners With Unique Challenges

Some home projects don’t fit neatly into a standard category, making it tough to find the right contractor. That was the exact challenge faced by a family in Corrales when they switched from propane to natural gas—leaving them with a massive, buried 500-gallon propane tank and no one willing to remove it.

After reaching out to multiple contractors with no luck, they found Ark Light Construction—and we were ready to help.

Taking a Safe and Efficient Approach

Since this type of project comes with unique risks, we made sure to keep things simple and stress-free for the homeowner.

Our approach included:

  • Scheduling a site visit to assess the situation and determine the best approach
  • Providing a clear estimate with basic contractual details—no complicated proposals needed
  • Planning the project carefully, ensuring safety and efficiency every step of the way

How We Got the Job Done

With the right planning and expertise, we handled the project quickly and safely, taking extra precautions to ensure everything was done right.

Our team:

  • Carefully checked for any remaining gas before excavation and took the necessary precautions to prevent leaks or soil contamination.
  • Excavated the buried tank with careful maneuvering to avoid disturbing nearby landscaping and underground utilities.
  • Safely removed the propane tank and any associated piping, hauling everything away for proper disposal.
  • Restored the space by filling and leveling the area.

By the end of the job, the site was fully restored, with no signs that a massive tank had ever been there. The family was relieved to have the job taken care of. They were especially happy that the work was done with care and attention to detail, leaving their backyard in great shape.
