Perc Tests and Site Evaluations

If you are selling a piece of property a site evaluation will increase the sale value of the property because it lets the buyer know that the property is suitable for development. If you are purchasing a parcel of land, do not assume that the land will “perc” somewhere on the site; this is not necessarily the case. Be a smart buyer and know the property will meet your needs before you commit to such an important investment.   

It doesn't take long to realize that finding the right piece of property is the most important aspect of building a home. When purchasing a previously owned home the development has already been sorted out, but if you are looking to purchase a property to build new, you should have a thorough understanding of the property’s potential and limitations before you spend your hard-earned money on a pretty piece of property that may not suit your needs or worse yet, be unbuildable. Let us work with you to find the solution that’s right for you.

People often refer to a Site Evaluation as a “perk test”. The “perc” is but one of the many items that constitutes a Site Evaluation. A thorough Site Evaluation is an assessment of your property which includes a site visit, a review of the available property data, and a review of the state and local regulations. During the site visit we will identify potential test pit locations for a septic system by examining a variety of features including, but not limited to: topography, vegetation, slopes, property line demarcations, buildings, wells, roads, and driveways. We verify sufficient area for a well and evaluate possible leachfield areas by studying soil characteristics, and of course, we will perform perc tests. Research of the property includes a review of available topographic mapping, soil mapping, boundary plans, and current property deed information. Lastly, we will review state and local permits relating to water, sewer, drainage, mapped wetlands, earth disturbances, erosion control, and property restrictions. We will record the test pit locations and soil descriptions for future permitting plans or prepare a letterform report complete with a sketch and test pit logs depending on your needs.

The site evaluation will let you know whether or not the property is suitable for sewage disposal and will determine the size and type of the system that can be used.
