Frequently Asked Questions
What is a perc test and why do I need one in New Jersey?
A perc test (percolation test) measures how quickly water drains through soil. In New Jersey, it is required before installing any new septic system and is conducted under the oversight of your local board of health. NJ DEP rules under N.J.A.C. 7:9A govern the soil evaluation and percolation testing process.
How much does a perc test cost in New Jersey?
A perc test in New Jersey typically costs $500 to $1,500, including soil profile evaluation. Municipal fees for health officer oversight add $100-$400. Total costs are higher than most states due to NJ's strict regulatory requirements and the involvement of licensed engineers or soil scientists.
What happens if my property fails the perc test in New Jersey?
If conventional perc test results do not meet N.J.A.C. 7:9A standards, you may be able to install an alternative system (mound system, drip irrigation, FAST unit) if site conditions allow. In densely developed areas of NJ, failing lots may have no viable septic option, requiring connection to public sewer if available.
Who can perform a perc test in New Jersey?
Soil evaluations and perc tests in New Jersey must be conducted by a Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP), Licensed Professional Engineer, or other qualified professional approved by your local board of health. The evaluation must be witnessed by a municipal health officer.
