A perc test (also spelled perk - both are correct) is short for percolation test. It is a test which measures the absorption rate of the soil where a proposed septic system will be installed.
A hole, 5-7 feet deep is dug in an area to be tested for future use as a drain field, or near the drain-field area in representative soils. Water is poured into the hole and and the soils or septic engineer or contractor observes the rate at which soil absorbes the water by noting the time that it takes for the level of water in the hole to drop one inch (for example). More precise “perc tests” may involve using a specific quantity of water or a perc test hole of specific dimensions to make these observations.
