Allow me to share with you something nearly all septic companies will not:
there are two categories of people in this life. Those who believe septic
systems are simply "subterranean tanks for waste," and those that have had
raw sewage bubbling into their yard at 2 AM. I discovered this reality the
hard way in 2005—knee-deep in mud, shivering in a Washington rainstorm, as
my family and I assisted a weathered installer restore our family's broken
system. I was 14. My hands were raw. My pants were wrecked. But that moment,
something crystallized: This isn't just digging. It's families' lives we're
protecting.
Let me share the harsh truth: most septic companies just maintain tanks.
They're like temporary salesmen at a chainsaw convention. But Septic
Solutions? They are unique. It all started back in the beginning of the
2000s when Art and his family—just kids scarcely tall enough to lift a
shovel—assisted install their family's septic system alongside a weathered
pro. Picture this: three youngsters knee-deep in Pennsylvania clay,
discovering how soil permeability affects drainage while their peers played
Xbox. "We did not just dig ditches," Art told me last winter, warm coffee
cup in hand. "We discovered how soil whispers truths. A patch of wetland
vegetation here? That's Mother Nature yelling 'high water table.'"
