I need to share with you something nearly all septic companies won’t: there are two categories of people in this life. Those who believe septic systems are just “underground boxes for waste,” and those who have had raw sewage erupting into their property at 2 AM. I learned this reality the difficult way in 2005—standing in mud, freezing in a Washington deluge, as my siblings and I aided a weathered installer repair our family’s failed system. I was 14. My hands were raw. My jeans were ruined. But that moment, something changed: This ain’t just dirt work. It’s families’ lives we are safeguarding.
This is the ugly truth: nearly all septic companies just maintain tanks. They are like temporary salesmen at a chainsaw convention. But Septic Solutions? They’re different. It all started back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his family—just kids scarcely tall enough to lift a shovel—helped install their family’s septic system alongside a experienced pro. Imagine this: three youngsters waist-deep in Pennsylvania clay, discovering how soil porosity affects drainage while their friends played Xbox. “We didn’t just dig ditches,” Art explained to me last winter, steaming coffee cup in hand. “We learned how soil whispers mysteries. A patch of marsh plants here? That’s Mother Nature shouting ‘high water table.'”
