The perc test is complete.

The photos aren't actually those of the family's perc test on this project. They didn't get photos so the ones displayed are from a previous project but show what happens.

The photos show a soil scientist digging a pit on the site where the septic system would be located to be sure the soil would support a standard septic system. He then drilled a hole to determine the water table level. Jurisdictions have laws of how far the water table must be below the septic drain field.

And the results are. . .

Success. All tests revealed the property meets the requirements to support a standard septic system.
