The âPerc Testâ. A Perc Test (also known as âPerk Testâ, and more formally known as a Percolation Test), is a soil evaluation that tests the rate at which water drains through soil.
Typical costs: 1  An official perc test that meets all local requirements for a septic or drainage system permit can cost $100-$1,000 or more depending on site size and conditions. Some areas mandate a traditional perc test while others specify soil/site evaluation/testing with deep pits, but call it a perc test. Local laws will dictate whether the test must be performed by a government employee or a private engineer; and typically there's a separate cost for having a backhoe operator prepare the site.
