Introduction

When it comes to installing a new septic system, the foundation of a successful project lies in meticulous planning and preparation.

What is a Percolation Test?

A percolation test, commonly known as a “perc test,” is a soil evaluation procedure that measures the rate at which water drains through soil. This test is essential for determining the suitability of the soil for a septic drain field. It helps engineers understand how quickly wastewater will be absorbed, ensuring that your septic system will function efficiently and sustainably.

Why is a Percolation Test Essential?

  1. Soil Suitability: The test determines whether the soil on your property is suitable for a septic system.
  2. Environmental Protection: Accurate testing helps to protect groundwater from contamination.
  3. Compliance: Meeting local and state regulations often require a percolation test for septic system installations.
