Q: Who does a perc test?

• <div><p>Soil testers and licensed excavators are often the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-does-perc-tests.htm">professionals you hire if you need a perc test</a>. In some cases, structural engineers will also be able to conduct the test for you. In many municipalities, you&rsquo;ll need your professional on-site to dig and fill the holes with water, as well as a representative from your local building department or health department.

Q: What do the little lines on the tape measure mean?

Q: Does the seller get to see the survey if a buyer pays for it?

• <div><p>If a buyer pays for a survey, the surveyor they hired will only provide results to them. It&rsquo;s up to the buyer whether they share the survey results with the seller or not, even if they ultimately walk away from the deal. It&rsquo;s considered good faith to share the results with the seller, though, especially if you back out of the deal, as the seller can then provide that survey to future interested parties.</p></div>
