I need to explain something the majority of septic companies refuse to: there are two types of people in this reality. Those who assume septic systems are simply “buried containers for waste,” and those who have had raw sewage bubbling into their backyard at the dead of night. I learned this reality the hard way in 2005—standing in sludge, freezing in a Washington deluge, as my siblings and I aided a grizzled installer repair our family’s failed system. I was a teenager. My hands were raw. My pants were wrecked. But that evening, something clicked: This ain’t just digging. It’s people’s lives that we’re safeguarding.
This is the harsh truth: most septic companies just service tanks. They are like temporary salesmen at a chainsaw convention. But Septic Solutions? They are different. It all started back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his family—just kids scarcely tall enough to shoulder a shovel—assisted install their family’s septic system alongside a weathered pro. Visualize this: three kids buried in Pennsylvania clay, learning how soil permeability affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. “We didn’t just dig trenches,” Art shared with me last winter, hot coffee cup in hand. “We discovered how ground whispers secrets. A patch of marsh plants here? That’s Mother Nature yelling ‘high water table.'”
