About

23 years of reading North Carolina soil.

NC Perc Solutions is Jacob Presley, a Licensed Soil Scientist based in Dallas, NC, who helps people find out what their land can support.

Experience you can build on.

Jacob has 23 years of experience in septic permitting, and he has been a Licensed Soil Scientist for 20 of them. His work has taken him from the coast to the mountains, with a primary focus on the Piedmont and foothills.

He has handled much more than individual houses. His projects include a wide range of commercial work: churches, offices, storage facilities, warehouses, and parks, to name a few.

That range matters. Every site is different, and knowing how soils behave across the state helps him find workable options where others might stop at "no."

Why work with Jacob

What you can expect.

You talk to the scientist

The person you call is the person who walks your land, takes the borings, and signs the report. Your questions get answered by someone who has actually seen the site.

Plain-English answers

You'll know what's permittable, what type of system, where it goes, and roughly what it costs, without wading through soil jargon.

Options, not just a pass or fail

If a site is difficult, Jacob looks at system types, layouts, and permitting paths to find what can work for your budget and timeline.

No waiting in line

Private and hybrid permitting options can keep your purchase, build, or addition moving when the county is backed up.
