One of the most common questions I get when selling land suitable for building a home is: \u201cDoes it perc?\u201d While this is an excellent and important question to ask before purchasing property, the answer isn\u2019t always as clear-cut as many buyers expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Perc Test?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A percolation test, often referred to as a \u201cperc test,\u201d<\/em> is used to determine how quickly water is absorbed into the soil. The purpose of this test is to evaluate whether the soil on a property is suitable for a septic system to properly dispose of wastewater from a home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the term perc test<\/em> is still widely used, the traditional method of digging a hole and pouring water into it to observe absorption rates is rarely used today. Modern evaluations typically involve a more comprehensive soil analysis performed by professionals to determine whether the land can support a conventional septic system.<\/a> While approval for a conventional system is the ideal outcome, a property \u201cnot percing\u201d doesn\u2019t always mean what people think it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Do You Need a Perc Test?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When someone says, \u201cThe land doesn\u2019t perc,\u201d<\/em> buyers are often immediately alarmed and assume that means they won\u2019t be able to build a house on the property. While that can be true in certain situations, it is often not the case. In many instances, it simply means the property requires an engineered septic system instead of a conventional one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Differences Between Engineered and Conventional Septic Systems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An engineered septic system is a custom-designed, high-performance wastewater treatment solution used when conventional systems are not feasible due to factors such as poor soil conditions, high groundwater levels, or limited usable space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While engineered systems serve the same purpose of safely disposing of wastewater, there are both pros and cons to this approach. The primary downside is cost. Engineered systems are generally more expensive than conventional systems because they require a licensed engineer to design and draw site-specific plans that carefully control how wastewater is dispersed into the soil. The price difference can vary significantly depending on soil conditions and the complexity of the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upside, however, is that engineered systems are tailored specifically to the property. In some cases, they can even perform more efficiently than conventional systems in challenging or marginal soil conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For buyers, understanding this distinction is critical. Asking whether a property percs is always a smart move, but a property that doesn\u2019t perc does not automatically need to be a deal breaker. Before deciding to move forward or walk away, it\u2019s wise to consult with a septic installer or engineer to fully understand the cost difference between a conventional system and the engineered system required for that specific property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
