Soil Testing Services Near Me – Accurate, Affordable, and Local

If you’re planning a construction project, septic installation, or land development, it all begins with accurate soil testing. Whether you’re a homeowner or a developer, finding soil testing services near you is the first step to ensuring your project meets local engineering and building code standards.

At Pacific Geotechnical, we specialize in certified soil testing, percolation testing, and preparing geotechnical drawings and specifications for residential and commercial clients across British Columbia.

Why Soil Testing Matters Before Construction

Soil testing is critical for evaluating the condition and composition of the ground beneath your site. It provides essential data for:

Foundation design
Drainage planning
Septic system suitability
Slope stability
Site classification (as per BCBC and municipal codes)

Hiring a trusted local provider for soil testing services near you ensures that your soil conditions are accurately assessed for safety and compliance.

Percolation Testing for Septic Systems

When planning a septic system, a percolation (perc) test is required to determine the soil’s ability to absorb and filter wastewater. This test is vital for rural properties, new home developments, and upgrades to existing sewage systems.

Our percolation testing services include:

Site evaluation and trench excavation
Water absorption rate measurements
Detailed percolation reports for permit applications
Guidance for system sizing and placement

We follow provincial guidelines and local health authority standards to provide reliable percolation data that helps you gain septic approval faster.

Comprehensive Geotechnical Drawings and Specifications

Beyond testing, we offer detailed geotechnical drawings and specifications required for permit applications and construction planning. These documents include:

Soil stratigraphy and bearing capacity reports
Foundation recommendations
Slope stability calculations
Excavation and backfill guidelines
Frost depth and water table info
Drainage design and erosion control specs

Our geotechnical engineers work closely with architects, builders, and municipal authorities to ensure all geotechnical reports meet local code requirements and engineering best practices.
