Allow me to explain something most septic companies won't: there are two types of people in this world. Those who assume septic systems are merely "underground boxes for waste," and those that have had raw sewage erupting into their yard at midnight. I learned this difference the hard way in 2005—waist-deep in mud, freezing in a Washington rainstorm, as my siblings and I helped a weathered installer restore our family's failed system. I was a teenager. My hands were raw. My pants were destroyed. But that evening, something crystallized: This isn't just manual labor. It's families' lives we are safeguarding.
This is the dirty truth: the majority of septic companies just pump tanks. They're like temporary salesmen at a chainsaw convention. But Septic Solutions? They're special. It all began back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his siblings—just kids barely tall enough to shoulder a shovel—helped install their family's septic system alongside a weathered pro. Picture this: three kids buried in Pennsylvania clay, learning how soil permeability affects drainage while their friends played Xbox. "We did not just dig trenches," Art explained to me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We discovered how ground whispers secrets. A patch of marsh plants here? That's Mother Nature shouting 'high water table.'"
