A professional septic system soil evaluation ensures that a septic system is safe to add to a property.
Several factors contribute to the effectiveness and performance of a septic system. Since each property is unique, system installation or replacement requires a customized approach. One of the first steps in this process is assessing the property’s layout and topography. This step ensures that the right components are placed in the proper locations for efficient movement of wastewater. But before digging a single hole, a septic technician must evaluate the soil conditions. A septic system soil evaluation involves assessing the quality of the dirt on the property.

At Montes Trucks and Septic, we include a septic system soil evaluation as part of our installation or replacement process. Before we can secure a permit for any major work on a property, we must provide the results of a septic system soil evaluation and perc test, which involves determining how well the soil absorbs water. This information is required by local health departments, as it indicates whether the property can absorb and filter the effluent that comes through the tank and out through the drain field. Part of the process of testing the soil also includes identifying the depth to groundwater.
