Before a new septic system goes in, the soil has to be evaluated. Stewart Septic Services helps you through the process so your new system starts off right.
A septic system depends on the soil to treat and absorb wastewater. That's why, before a new system can be permitted, the property's soil has to be evaluated to determine how well it drains, where a drain field can go and what type and size of system the lot can support.
In Georgia, new septic systems are permitted through the county environmental health office, which reviews site and soil information as part of the process. Stewart Septic Services helps property owners across Macon and Middle Georgia through the perc test and soil evaluation process, so you know what to expect and what comes next.
As a company listed by the Georgia Department of Public Health as a certified septic tank installer, we can then take your project from evaluation to a finished, working system.
Any time a new or replacement system is planned, the soil comes first.
Every new home on septic starts with a site and soil evaluation.
A new drain field may need a fresh look at the soil.
More bedrooms can mean a larger system is needed.
Shallow soil, rock or high water may call for an alternative system.
The soil determines nearly everything about a septic system: where the drain field goes, how large it needs to be and whether a conventional system will work at all. Skipping or rushing this step leads to systems that fail early.
Middle Georgia properties range from sandy soils that drain quickly to dense clay that drains slowly. Two lots on the same road can need very different systems.
We'll help you understand what the evaluation shows and what kind of system makes sense for your property — whether that's a conventional system, a mound or another alternative design.

A percolation test measures how quickly water soaks into the soil. Along with other soil information, it helps determine whether a property can support a septic drain field and how large it needs to be.
New septic systems in Georgia are permitted through the county environmental health office. We can help you understand the steps involved for your property.
A poor result doesn't always mean you can't build. Alternative systems, like mound systems or aerobic treatment units, may be an option.
