Septic permits, denied-site reversals, soil mapping and wetland delineation for homeowners, builders and developers across the Carolinas.
A horizon · topsoil
Whether a lot can carry a septic system is decided by what is under the grass. We dig, describe and document it — then stand behind it with the people who approve the permit.
We work to overturn denied septic applications from the local health department or the State.
We act as mediator for our clients, drawing on long-standing, respected relationships with county and state officials.
We work directly with developers, engineers and surveyors on subdivision design and increased lot yield.
We expedite the permitting process, including Iredell County's “Fastrack” program.
We adjust existing permits to accommodate additional bedrooms and pools.
We look for a different system type that does the job and saves you money.
B horizon · subsoil
From a single home lot to apartment, condominium and commercial developments — we prepare the permit paperwork, gather the soil information and keep the process moving.
Permit assistance for individual homes and lots, apartment and condominium complexes, large developments and commercial projects. We prepare the application, collect the soil data and speed the permit along.
Thinking about buying a tract of land, or already own one? We look at the property and tell you whether it suits what you plan to build — before the money is spent.
A soil map lets you make the most of the land: informed decisions on septic systems, infrastructure placement and development density before work begins.
We overturn denials from local health departments or the State, and represent clients on highly difficult or court-related sites.
Expanding the house or adding a pool? We adjust the existing permit so the system matches the new plan.
We work with homeowners and developers to change system types where a different design saves money.
Working alongside your engineer and surveyor during subdivision design so more of the lots pass.
Locating and documenting wetland boundaries for site planning and permitting.
