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)?
@nyamillennial3 ай бұрын
If your soil has no limiting layer you absorb deeper which mean more simple systems can be installed hence cheaper. Not always there could be a sewer line they are hooked to which feed a processing plant. Not sure what Idaho regs are. But I sure love Idaho!!! Have been once to hunt elk! Such a beautiful place.

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,
@nyamillennial3 жыл бұрын
Jack, it is based on the type of soil. We are mainly looking for the limiting layer. Which gives us the depth in which the water absorbs to until it starts going horizontally instead of vertical.

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.
