Clarity

The road to septic approval can be confusing.

If your property is less than five acres a soil map is the first step to acquiring a septic permit. Once the soil map is completed by an approved soil consultant, it is provided to your local health department environmentalist. 

The soil map provides information about a number of factors. 

• Need for percolation test. In many cases a percolation test is not needed once the soils have been investigated. 

• If a perc test is needed, the soil map provides information vital to which soils require a perc test.

• The square footage combined with soil rating determines the number of bedrooms your home can have. 

• Proper placement and design of your septic system.
