Often referred to as a “Perc Test”, a level 3 soil survey is performed to determine the suitability of soil for an on-site septic system and/or determine the approximate depth of rock or water tables. This study level is required by Environmental Health to permit an on-site septic system. Service includes site visit where our team will use a hand auger to bore approximately 4 holes ± 72” deep. The soil retrieved is evaluated by a soil scientist, classified to determine absorption rates, and the absorption rates determine the suitability of the soil. Our team works diligently to deliver a completed report no more than 2-3 weeks from authorization to proceed, allowing you to get answers before your due diligence period ends.
