Customer Reviews

What People are Saying

Central Virginia Soil did a great job removing our old oil tank. The first visit they examined the tank, told us step-by-step the process to have it removed. The team came and removed a huge tank from a small area with no damage. They filled the removed soil and planted grass where it had been before. We were very pleased with their knowledge and follow through in getting the tank removed.

In December 2022 I discovered my underground heating oil storage tank had developed a major leak. I contacted CVSC after seeing one of their flyers I had previously received in the mail. David met with me on-site to evaluate the situation and discuss the procedures for remediation. Shortly afterwards David and his team began their work. The refreshing thing about CVSC is that they tell you what they need to do and they do what they say when they say. That is a rare quality in contractors these days. The process went very much as planned (weather permitting). I would highly recommend CVSC should you need their services. They certainly helped me with a very difficult situation!
