North Carolina Septic Inspector Exam 2 Practice Test

Which factors determine whether a soil test is needed for an inspection?

The age of the building only. Weather conditions on the day of inspection. Evidence of poor infiltration, unusual soil colors, or suspected percolation issues. As required by the client's contract/NC code.

Correct Answer:

As required by the client's contract/NC code.

Explanation:

The need for a soil test is determined by the scope defined in the contract and by North Carolina code. It isn’t driven by how old the building is, nor by the weather on the inspection day, and while signs of infiltration problems or unusual soils might prompt further evaluation, they don’t alone establish a requirement. In practice, you perform a soil test only when the contract with the client or the applicable NC code requires it for that site. If the contract/code calls for it, you carry it out; otherwise you document findings and advise accordingly.
