Percolation Testing (Perc Test) – Essential for Septic System Installation

Before installing a septic system, it’s essential to know if your soil can support it. SC Septic’s accurate percolation tests help identify the ideal location for your drainfield, ensuring your system is built on a solid foundation for optimal performance. Don’t leave your system’s success to chance – get a reliable perc test to guarantee everything is set up for long-term efficiency.

What is a Percolation Test?
A perc test measures the soil’s absorption rate to determine the best location for your septic system’s drainfield. This test is essential because it assesses how well the soil will absorb the wastewater from your septic system, which is crucial for preventing overflows, backups, or system failures.
Why You Need a Perc Test
Accurate testing ensures that your septic system is properly designed for long-term, efficient performance, preventing future issues. Without a proper perc test, the placement of your septic system could be compromised, leading to potential health hazards, costly repairs, and system malfunctions.
How the Perc Test Work

During a percolation test, we dig small holes in the ground where the septic system’s drainfield will be located. We then fill the holes with water and measure how quickly the water is absorbed by the soil. The rate at which the water is absorbed indicates the soil’s ability to filter wastewater.
