Hey that scientist is my dad! Good job!

Man that was educational.The soil master did an outstanding performance.Probably the best i have ever witnessed.

Matt pass this on to DP Mike, its SOIL not DIRT, I have been in the Soils Business for over 50 years and each State is for sure different on the laws all depended on Soil type, this man you had on did a fantastic job of explaining what he looks for, I sure you get a lot of views on this it's great info for the average people. Nice Video Matt

Thanks Matt for the great video! I'm an installer from southern Iowa. Pretty much use soil scientists here too and your guy did a great job explaining the soils and methodology.

I always learn something on this channel. Keep up the good work Matt!

Matt & Jack, i greatly appreciate the education. I watched twice!

Who would have thought soil can be so complicated and complex. Thank you so much for giving us insight and knowledge. I appreciate that.

Enjoyed the video. Thanks Matt for these somewhat behind the scenes or before job videos.

Great information. Around here the health department does all of the determination and they are very secretive about the process. Their approach seems to be to find any excuse to turn it down. No explanation.

That was very informative . Now evey time I dig a hole that will be stuck in my head like a song !!!! Nice vid Matt..

thanks matt you both did a great job explaining it

I am impressed by the gentleman's knowledge as I am with you and DP's skill in reading the soils you work.

That was as simple as it gets!! Deeper is cheaper , I love it!!!!!!

I could listen to Jack talk about the history of soil for hours. I remember him once trying to teach Dirt Perfect and myself how gravel way on top of the hill was river washout.

Great explanation of the different types of soil found in the same trench.

Ok that was extremely cool. He explained that really well. Nice job.

I like this video on the several I watched. I plan on emailing you. Thanks! Keep it coming!

A great educational video! Thx

Excellent video and explanation. I live in Texas and getting ready to build on land that requires a septic system.

Super clear video from you both! Thank you!!

Great video Matt I install septic and I have learned a lot it's nice to see hand's to understand how it works I really enjoyed watching and learning 🇺🇲

That’s a good video. Well described straight to the point facts.

In Tennessee, all they did was use a tile spade to dig a hole about 1 foot deep and pour water in and measure the amount of absorption!

thats a cool ass old man, thank you for that great information old man the dude who provided the video

First video watched. Mr. Perfect told me about your channel. New subscriber. Very informative video about how septic systems are determined. Will be going back to watch previous videos.

Great information. That's Matt. Learned a lot.

great video!! Matt you need to turn on the notification bell !!

Really good explanation. Thanks.

Matt, very well done!

Love the education!

Educational!! Nice job. You'll do well!

Well next time I do a septic I will definitely use this video as a reference. Thank you brother 😎👍

Great Video, I am totally new to perc testing and this content is very helpful. Seem like great guys too-good stuff!

Jack, is the best it’s always interesting working with him.

Very informative. Thx

Great information Matt; and this just popped up on my feed due to the YT algorithm ! (I am subscribed to All).

Good job and thanks!

Very interesting Matt.. Thanks..

Thank you. That was so informative!

Great job clear explanation 👍

Great video.

That was a great and very educational video. Thank you

Excellent video

This is a perfect example of the value of the internet. That guy just packed about 40 years worth of knowledge in an 11 minute video.

What is required/solution when drainage occurs to rapidly ? Our area is mostly glacial tilt and water drains very quickly.

Good vid great info. Thanks

Very good video ! Great work !

Thank you

Great video. What do you mean by deeper is cheaper? If im considering land in the mountains (Idaho) that has a dozen or so homes already surrounding the plot. Is it safe to assume a spectic will be able to be installed? Is there a better time of the year to preform a perc test (We know winter the ground is too hard)?

Whaddyer do to keep the perc test hole open if the soil is completely non-cohesive?

excellent enjoyed the time and knowledge. thank you

Perched high seasonal water table is a known limiting layer and is represented by grays as well

Great video at last I now know what you lot are doing dirt perfect captain etc

Perk tests with water not done anymore? We developed a rural estate subdivision with 2.5 acre min.lot size and 2 septic beds, Primary and secondary. I remember walking the site with a souls engineer and a post hole hydraulic drill on a tractor,we drilled holes on each lot on each bed site,filled them with water and monitored the time it took for water to permeate into soil,

Awesome, if land has trees is it ok to have the land cleared out before testing ?

Wow now that was cool thanks matt

Very informative. Currently looking at properties in central TN. and wondering how large a field would need to be to add a 2bd guest house on a property that already has an existing home. Is there any "average" sq. ft. size for a septic for a 2bdr guest house?

This is the first video I've watched about perc tests and soil science, so this is probably a really stupid question, but why is it based on the number of bedrooms? To gauge the number of people that will be using it all the time?

Actually, very heavy clay, for example, clay resembling pottery clay has essentially no drainage. My leach field is in poorly draining clay made worse because below it us about a 9-inch layer of this clay. I am breaking through it to create drainage. Better yet is replacing the material with drain rock or sand.

Awesome Video!!

Miles away in Atlantic Canada we follow roughly the same as you do there. The old fashion 'Perk' test has changed.

So you got the message then great job.

Wow, 24 inches of cover is unheard of in the southern states.

Good video

nice job

Great vid. Can I dig and do soil test myself?

Thank you this was very 😎.

So you have to have a soil test BEFORE the perc test? Or, Is it the same, just called something else?

That was very informative

Love this.

Do they not figure sq ft per bedroom in the linear requirements? I have never understood that calculation in determining depth of lines but this was a very informative video. Thanks for posting.

Great Channel

This is such a good video. If I wanted to do this work, what is required? Is there a training program and certification that can qualify someone to perform perc tests for people? Or do the counties and agencies require someone with a degree to do this work and assessment?

Was this a test or a lecture? I learned very little about a test.

Great content Millennial dude……

Where was the stuff about the perc test, Lt. Dan.

Seatbelt?

Is this soil scientist the voice over for hank on king of the hill?

I'm wondering what kind(s) of systems I might have for options if I have ~ 4 feet of soil over a bedrock layer?

Awesome education.

There you go Matt. Nothing like getting a little geeky. Ones like this and the bidding video you did are helpful to those of us who want to know why tf they doing it like that. Just saying

Thanks for the informative videos. (unlike Mikeys) Lol. Just kidding! Well, kinda'. I have enjoyed the many different construction and land sculpting videos. Anyway, I bought 12 wooded acres north of you guys in Brown County and will be doing the whole vacation cabin thing on virgin ground. Too bad you guys aren't located a little closer business wise. Even though I live in Florida, but from Anderson, IN. area, I enjoy and miss the Hoosier banter back and forth. Apparently, being a smart a## is a Hoosier heredity thing!

Well I think I will just leave all that information to you guys, as most of that , went over my head anyways, lol, but good to know that you know what your looking for , as far as soil, Matt👍👍👍😎😎🍮🍮

So what is the difference between a “presby” and a sand mound?

👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed!

Dam good video.....

Does the land get tested in more than one spot? And it is considered passing if one of the 3 spots passes the Perc test? Or does it fail completely if only one spot passes? I’m currently in the process of buying land and we are waiting for the Perc test to be done. Kind of nervous. 😬

Listen to Colonel sanders brother

I need a perk test in Dubois County Indiana, is this the guy who does that?

Interesting 🤔😞✌️ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hello do you have a business email that you can be reached at?

1st your newest video comments are turned off. 2nd you and captain Cleanmen need to tie up dirt perfect for mrs pirt perfect, take him to the doctor. 3rd give mrs dirt perfect a good deal on one of your puppies.

That should be soils engineer

He sounds JUST like Hank Hill? Am I crazy?

What kind of expert would get into a test pit and call it a perc test .

We have a lot of bedrock and having a horrible time trying to get a septic done

👍👍

DP sent me over but don’t hold that against me.

The information regarding soil testing is interesting. I could not hear and/or make out what you were trying to say while you were driving. Your tires were TOO loud. I know as a young man they are fun but next time roll up your window.

Most perc tests are unnecessary, they make us spend money and time
