Welcome to Severson Soil Consulting, PLLC
Professional soil evaluations for septic systems and land development
Our Services
Comprehensive solutions for your project needs
Site & Soil Evaluation (Perc Test)
Professional soil and site evaluations for septic system suitability.
Soil Mapping
Soil and landscapes are mapped on larger tracts of land to identify suitable areas of soil for septic system suitability. Field collected data will be used to create a soil map and report.
Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Testing (Ksat)
Ksat testing measures the exact rate water moves through saturated soil. This precise data is critical for accurately sizing engineered stormwater control measures and determining proper wastewater application rates for alternative septic designs.
Flood Hazard Soil Identification
Wake County’s GIS for 1970s Flood Hazard Soils is misaligned; surveys must scale maps accurately. Hiring a soil scientist lets you verify the ground truth—either unlocking flexible UDO Floodplain rules or exempting your project from flood regulations
Septic Preconstruction Conference
We provide an on-site meeting with the installer to confirm that soil and site conditions match the approved permit, and to review installation detail
Desktop Site Review
SSC will review existing GIS data and documentation that will aid in evaluating initial project viability.
Seasonal High Water Table Determination
Seasonal high water table (SHWT) determinations are used to design engineered stormwater control measures (SCM). Depth to the SHWT will guide SCM selection and ensure compliance with NCDEQ Stormwater Design Manual design criteria.
