Services
For reliable soil testing in Marshall, our service covers everything from residential homes to large commercial projects. We gather key data from health department reports, soil maps, and topographical surveys before heading to the site for a detailed inspection. Our field visits use hand augers and backhoes to analyze the soil conditions. Once the inspection is complete, we promptly issue construction permits, certification letters, percolation testing results, and sewage system layouts. 
With more than 40 years of expertise, Dr. Lawrence Rude, our head engineer, has consistently delivered outstanding geotechnical engineering solutions. We provide a range of services, including full and limited geotechnical investigations, stormwater infiltration studies, facility inspections, and groundwater research in the Marshall region. 
With Soils, Inc., you get professional inspections of Storm Water Management Facilities during installation. We are known for our As-Built Certifications for infiltration systems, rain gardens, planter boxes, and pervious paver driveways. Our inspections comply with local standards, and we prepare regulatory reports for submission. We are actively working on as-built certifications in Arlington County. 
At Soils Inc., we prioritize finding affordable conventional septic systems. However, when required, we leverage modern industry advancements and adhere to current regulations to develop alternative on-site sewage disposal solutions, including drip, sand mound, trench, and, where necessary, experimental systems. 
At Soils Inc., we make septic tank pumping effortless for you by focusing on your specific needs. We handle the work so you dont have to, and if something unexpected happens, we will always ensure its fixed right away. 
At Soils, Inc., we have a DPOR Licensed Alternative Onsite Sewage System Operator (AOSSO) as part of our team. Our staff is extensively trained in the inspection of both conventional and alternative sewage disposal systems. This training ensures that we can conduct detailed septic system inspections for property transfers and for annual inspections of alternative sewage systems. You will receive a complete report of the findings to share with the necessary parties. 
At Soils Inc., we handle all septic system designs in-house. We specialize in both conventional and alternative on-site sewage disposal systems. Some of the alternative systems we design include Microfast, Advantex, EZTreat, Drip, and Elevated Sand Mound systems. Additionally, we provide operation and maintenance manuals, as well as water mounding calculations for these alternative systems. We also offer third-party start-up inspections, As-built drawings, and completion statements to meet regulatory requirements. 
At Soils Inc., we understand the importance of keeping your septic system running smoothly. Our septic maintenance services, backed by over 15 years of expertise, focus on regular upkeep to prevent costly repairs.

Mark and his team are truly outstanding! They possess an exceptional depth of knowledge about septic systems and provide very fair pricing. After reaching out to numerous companies in the area, Mark's stood out as the clear choice. His extensive experience with the health department is evident in the quality of service they deliver. Communication has been seamless; they are consistently responsive to emails and easy to get in touch with.
I highly recommend Mark and his team for anyone needing septic system services! They made what was an extremely stressful situation very easy! Thank you so so so much Mark and Soils Inc.! their sister company Virginia Septic is absolutely amazing. Rick, the owner, he has literally answered all my emails and calls so thoroughly and even came all the way to the property for an extra visit to help the electrician with the work! I could not recommend soils inc and virginia septic more!

From start to finish, Soils, Inc., provided the utmost level of professional and courteous service to my company for a very complicated subdivision projected in Fredericksburg, VA. Their soil scientists and soil technicians all kept me abreast about the entire process, fees, forms, timeline, and met with me at the job site and explained the entire soil investigation and septic design process in great details. I will be working with this company going forward for all of my new home construction designs and subdivisions where septic systems and soil investigations are required.
