Perc tests are performed to determine the rate of water absorption in the soil.

Perc tests are performed to determine the rate of water absorption in the soil. If you are installing a new septic system it is a requirement to have a perc. test completed in order to determine your soils perc rate and the septic system that you will need. A good absorption rate with no restrictions is ideal to install a conventional septic system. If the soil conditions do not allow for a conventional septic system an engineered system may be necessary.

Conventional systems are installed when ideal conditions are present on the property. Perc rate, ground restrictions, size of the building (currently existing or to be built) and size of the property itself. This is all determined through the soil/perc testing and site evaluation process.

Conventional systems are installed when ideal conditions are present on the property. Perc rate, ground restrictions, size of the building (currently existing or to be built) and size of the property itself. This is all determined through the soil/perc testing and site evaluation process.
Engineered systems are required when perc rates along with, ground restrictions, property size and building size do not align with requirements defined by the state public health department. These systems are designed to create a system that meets those percolation requirements.

Soil Compaction Testing and Foundation Design
Soil Compaction testing is performed to determine if soil has been compacted to its maximum density. In order to do this the ideal amount of stress(compaction) must be applied to the soil at the right moisture level. End result being that the soil can compact to its maximum density when it is dry.
