Perc Testing
Building a new home that does not have a sewer system? Then testing of the soil is required to determine if a lot is buildable or not. This test is called a percolation or perc test. It may also be referred to as a perk test.
What is a perc test
A percolation test will measure the amount of time it takes for liquids to be absorbed through soil. This is important because it determines whether the property can accommodate a septic system drain field where effluent from the septic system will be directed and released back into the ground.
