options for failed perc test....
options for failed perc test....
(OP)
i dont know if i am even in the right place but i am hoping someone out there can help me or advise me....i bought a piece of property almost 15 yrs ago....just shy of 4 acres....at the time it passed the perc test....now that we are ready to build....they are saying it did not pass the perc test....i am assuming that means that we need to have an engineered system....am i right?....in other words we need curtain drains right?....if we put the curtain drains in now....fall time....can they still refuse us?....we are in new england if that helps....litchfield county....if there is anyone out there who can guide me or point me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it....thank you....
