I need to explain something the majority of septic companies will not: there
are two kinds of people in this reality. Those who believe septic systems
are simply "subterranean tanks for waste," and those who've had raw sewage
erupting into their property at 2 AM. I discovered this distinction the hard
way in 2005—knee-deep in muck, trembling in a Washington downpour, as my
siblings and I assisted a weathered installer restore our family's collapsed
system. I was a teenager. My hands blistered. My jeans were ruined. But that
evening, something changed: This is not just digging. It's families' lives
we are protecting.
This is the harsh truth: most septic companies just maintain tanks. They act
like band-aid salesmen at a disaster convention. But Septic Solutions?
They're unique. It all originated back in the beginning of the 2000s when
Art and his siblings—just kids hardly tall enough to carry a shovel—aided
install their family's septic system alongside a grizzled pro. Visualize
this: three kids waist-deep in Pennsylvania clay, discovering how soil
porosity affects drainage while their buddies played Xbox. "We never just
dig trenches," Art told me last winter, hot coffee cup in hand. "We
discovered how soil whispers secrets. A patch of cattails here? That's
Mother Nature screaming 'high water table.'"
