Soil evaluations on large tracts to judge overall suitability, which septic systems will work, and how much space each home will need. Then we lay out lots, septic areas, and wells to get the most homesites from the land.
North Carolina lets property owners use a licensed soil scientist instead of waiting in the county's line. I'll walk you through private and hybrid options that fit your budget and your timeline.
Adding a bedroom, a garage, or a pool usually requires septic sign-off before you can build. If you're waiting on the county, or you'd rather not deal with it at all, I can help.
Tell me where the property is and what you want to build. I'll explain what the job involves and give you a quote up front.
I evaluate the soil and the site in person with hand auger borings, checking soil depth, texture, wetness, slope, and setbacks.
You get findings in plain English: what's permittable, which system type, where it can go, and the fastest path to a permit.
When you call, you talk to Jacob, the person who will walk your land, take the borings, and sign the report. No call center and no hand-offs.
Jacob has spent 23 years in septic permitting, 20 of them as an NC Licensed Soil Scientist. He has worked from the coast to the mountains, mostly in the Piedmont and foothills, on everything from single homesites to commercial projects.
“Buying land is a big decision. My job is to tell you what the ground will actually support before you've spent the money.”
