What is a perc test?

What is a perc test? image

Perc Test - The purpose of this test is to determine the ability of the soil to handle sewage wastewater when the soil is saturated. The results of this test are used to determine the size of the leaching system needed to accommodate the home or business that is planned

A percolation test, or perc test, is a procedure performed to review water drainage in different soils. It is important for many uses, such as when designing a leach field for a septic system, planning a building design, or considering agricultural use of the land. If the water cannot drain properly, a swamp of sewer water will result.
