    Hey guys

    Just wondering how long does a percolation test take.

    I'm arranging a guy with a machine so just want to have a time frame for him

    Thanks

    Depends on the soil. You have to monitor water draining into the ground and record depths at specific time intervals.

    It could be 1 hour or the day.

    The test isn't the issue.

    You may need to leave the holes open for a council official to inspect.

    The test itself can be done over two days if deemed necessary.

    So it's not an in an out job
