When building a home in rural areas, installing a well and septic system is often necessary. However, the costs can vary based on terrain and state-specific factors.

If you’re planning to build a home or install a septic system, PERC testing is a crucial first step. PERC, short for percolation, is a test to measure how well the soil absorbs water. The test helps determine whether your land can support a traditional septic system or if alternative solutions are needed.
