Onsite Wastewater Services for Utah

Soil evaluations, perc testing, engineered septic design, and full installation — with clear pricing ranges and Utah code compliance at every step.

01 · Soil Evaluations

Soil Evaluations

A soil evaluation reads the soil profile on your lot to determine whether it can support an onsite wastewater system, what type of system fits, and how it must be sized. On most Utah lots this is the required first step before any design or installation.

  • When you need it: new construction, lot feasibility, and failed-system replacement

  • On-site soil profile pits and texture assessment

  • Findings used to size and select the right system

Typical Range

$500 – $1,500

Required for most new lots

Determines system type & sizing

02 · Perc Testing

Perc (Percolation) Testing

A perc test measures how quickly soil absorbs water, which determines whether — and how — a drain field can be built on your property. Most Utah counties require a passing perc test before they will permit an onsite system.

  • Required by most Utah counties for permitting

  • Number of test holes varies by site and county

  • Price scales with site conditions and access

Typical Range

$600 – $2,000

Measures soil absorption rate

County permit-ready results

  • CAD-based engineered system design

  • Permit coordination with your county

  • System type matched to your soil findings

Typical Range
