Soil Testing for Septic System 

Very much appreciated Monica! Views will eventually get there 🥴😄

My pleasure!

Shane James much appreciated Shane 🙏😊

Hi Bill, thanks for the suggestion, I might just do that once I order the clear pvc, (hard to get in certain areas). My permeameter is homemade. I made 3 of them so I can test a couple of areas simultaneously with an assistant. I'll order some pieces so I can make a video on putting one of these together. Cheers

Often there is always a solution to most soil problems. It’s a matter of finding out what is going on below grade. We like to see up to 6ft and look at all the soil horizons and possible limiting or restrictive conditions. It’s always a good idea to assess the soils so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.

gunlover1955 every country, state or province has differed t regulations. Here in BC we have to conduct soil studies to evaluate a hydraulic loading rate pertinent to the soil type...of which there are many combinations of. We then calculate a drainfield size to adequately treat the wastewater. This isn’t about disposing, it’s about treating the water to remove pathogens, excessive nitrates and phosphates. Our regulations are quite stringent and we have to know our code books well
