What is a Perc Test?
This test determines the soil’s capability to absorb liquid over a specific period of time. This allows a determination to be made regarding the size and type of septic system that will be required. The test must be certified by a Registered Civil Engineer or a Registered Environmental Health Specialist. Consultants who provide these services can be located in the telephone book’s yellow pages under the heading “Septic Tanks and Systems Consultants”.
