What Our Clients Say
Trusted by homeowners, builders, and businesses across Northern Indiana
“We highly recommend NEI Soil Consulting LLC. They spent time with us to explain what they were finding while they were doing the perc testing. They are very conscientious and their costs are very reasonable, especially considering the time, effort and care they took to sample the soil to get the best recommendation possible for the proper septic system installation at our lake home. You are in good hands if you hire NEI—they will do a great job and they are also very kind and conscientious professionals!”
“The sweetest people we have spoken to since we started the process for our septic. They walk you through everything they do and give you so much information.”
“Bill and Janet were fantastic to work with. They were quick to get us on their schedule, arrived on time, and were very friendly. Bill took the time to walk us through what he was doing and explain things along the way. He provided a lot of helpful advice and insight, and the results were sent to us the next day (on a Sunday!). I would highly recommend NEI Soil Consulting!”
“Bill was out and did the soil borings in short order and sent them off to the state. I was told it takes months to get results back, but Bill was good about communicating on where we were in the system. I would recommend Bill at NEI Soil Consulting any day.”
“Bill does a great job, he was early for our appointment, explained his process, and followed up with the core sample results promptly. I would recommend NEI Soil Consulting to anyone planning expansions or repairing existing systems. Great customer service!! A++”
