Soil Testing

Reliable Site Analysis for a Successful Build

Before a single bucket of dirt is moved, you need to know exactly what is happening beneath the surface. At Goodman Excavating LLC, we provide professional soil evaluation and percolation (perc) testing to determine the suitability of your land for construction and waste management. Understanding your soil composition is a vital step in ensuring your project meets local safety codes and environmental requirements in the Payson area and beyond.

Our Soil Evaluation Services

We provide the technical data you need to move forward with your residential or commercial project in Star Valley, Tonto Basin, and surrounding communities.

  • Percolation (Perc) Testing: We measure the water absorption rate of your soil to determine if it can support a standard septic leach field or if an alternative system is required.

  • Septic Site Evaluations: A comprehensive look at your property to identify the best location for your wastewater system based on soil layers and topography.

  • Foundation Soil Analysis: Testing the ground’s stability and load-bearing capacity to ensure your foundation will remain secure without shifting or settling over time.

  • Permit & Regulatory Compliance: We ensure all testing is performed according to the specific standards required for your area, helping you secure the necessary approvals for your build.
