When you need a percolation test
Any development on a block that isn't connected to town sewer. That covers most rural and semi-rural land across Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast hinterland and Northern New South Wales.
What we test, and why it matters
The loading rate sets the size of the land application area, so it is measured, not assumed.
Wastewater system design
We assess the land and produce the data the wastewater system designer works from, in the format they need for the design.
We assess the land and determine the correct locations for the system. That information goes to our plumbing contractor, and together we correlate it to provide a wastewater design report.
Where we work
Moreton Bay, the Sunshine Coast and hinterland, Brisbane rural fringe, Ipswich, the Lockyer Valley, the Gold Coast hinterland and Northern New South Wales.
Reports lodged with Moreton Bay, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan and Gold Coast councils.

Common questions
It depends on lot size, access, how many test locations the land application area needs and whether the design calls for laboratory permeability testing. Send the site address and any plans and we will come back with a fixed price.
Yes. On an unsewered residential lot both can be scoped in one mobilisation, with the soil profile logged once.
Falling head percolation testing needs the ground pre-soaked, so allow more than a single visit on most sites. We give you the programme with the quote.
Usually yes. Councils treat a replacement as a new application, so the land application area has to be assessed against current requirements, and those have changed since most older systems went in. A failure often means the original area was undersized or has simply worn out, which means the new one may need to go somewhere else on the block. We test, size the new area and report it so your plumber can lodge the application.
