Septic Compass is a free service that connects homeowners with licensed local septic companies. We are not a contractor and do not perform septic work.
A percolation (perc) test measures how quickly soil absorbs water, which decides whether — and where — a drain field can go. It is required before a new septic system is installed. The soil evaluation and perc test are arranged through the county health department or a licensed evaluator before a permit is issued.
No. Septic Compass is a free matching service. We are not a contractor and do not perform septic work — we connect you with licensed local companies who do.
It's free for homeowners. The companies in our network pay to receive matched leads, so you're never charged for the connection.
For routine work, usually the same day. For emergencies like a backup, we prioritise companies with 24/7 crews so you're connected fast.
We match you with companies that carry the licensing their state requires for septic work. Always confirm the details before hiring.
Tell us what you need — we'll connect you with vetted local pros, free.
