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 many municipalities, you’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.
