"They handled my perc test and ended up installing my septic system too—smooth process from start to finish!”
What is a perc test, and why do I need one?
A perc (percolation) test checks how well your soil absorbs water, it’s a required step for designing and approving a septic system. We’re certified in Wisconsin to perform these tests, and they’re essential for making sure your system is properly sized and placed.
Can you handle everything from testing to installation?
As early as possible. A certified perc test is typically required before you can submit your septic design for permitting, so it’s one of the first steps in your site prep process.
How long does a perc test take?
The on-site test usually takes about 1–2 hours, depending on site conditions and how many test holes are required. We provide results and documentation shortly after completion.
What if my soil doesn’t pass the test?
Don’t worry — we’ll walk you through all your options. In some cases, an alternative septic system design or a different placement on your property can still make your project possible.
Are you certified to perform perc tests in Wisconsin?
Yes, both Joe and Tyler are Wisconsin-certified soil testers, which means your test is done to code, and your results will be accepted by local authorities.
Do you help with the paperwork for permitting?
Absolutely. We’ll give you all the documentation you need to move forward with your septic design and permit applications — and we’re happy to walk you through it if needed.
