Soil Evaluation

Professional Environmental Evaluations


Clear Horizons Soil uses soil evaluations to create soil survey maps that determine the usability, and ultimately value of your property. You’ll know if you can build and where to install your drain field, and for which type of sewage system you qualify.

On-site Soil Evaluations for Residential, Commercial and Industrial Use


When you’re developing property for an any-use case, it is ideal to be approved for a conventional sewage disposal system. As a Licensed Virginia Soil Scientist and Authorized Onsite Soil Evaluator with close to 30 years of experience, Clear Horizons Soil is more than qualified to conduct the necessary tests to determine if your soil conditions are favorable for a conventional or alternative sewage disposal system.

We translate the soil evaluation results into a detailed soil survey map of the entire property with our development recommendations, restrictions and possibilities based on soil permeability, structures, storm water flow, and other critical soil properties. It decreases the chances of development issues in the future.

Failing Drain Field


If you are having issues with your existing drain field, from piping neglecting septic tank cleanings, Clear Horizons Soil can diagnose the issue. You may need to address a revamp in the future due to unforeseen growth or expansion.

Alternative Sewage Disposal 


If it is determined that you require an alternative sewage disposal system to achieve your best results, Clear Horizons Soil can recommend or design a long-lasting sewage solution for you. We pride ourselves on going above and beyond required certification standards to stay abreast of the latest alternative sewage solutions. Our aim is to give you more cost-effective and ‘ground-breaking’ options for development.

Storm Water Management


It is imperative to have a plan for managing storm water during development. As experts in storm water management, we determine your development’s hydrology to complement soil evaluations to offer a more in-depth prediction of development issues.
