Let me tell you something most septic companies refuse to: there are two kinds of people in this reality. Those who assume septic systems are simply “buried containers for waste,” and those who have had raw sewage erupting into their backyard at midnight. I understood this difference the tough way in 2005—knee-deep in sludge, shivering in a Washington deluge, as my brothers and I helped a weathered installer repair our family’s broken system. I was fourteen. My hands were raw. My jeans were wrecked. But that night, something crystallized: This is not just manual labor. It’s families’ lives we’re preserving.
Here’s the dirty truth: nearly all septic companies just service tanks. They are like band-aid salesmen at a disaster convention. But Septic Solutions? They are different. It all started back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his family—just kids hardly tall enough to carry a shovel—aided install their family’s septic system alongside a grizzled pro. Imagine this: three kids waist-deep in Pennsylvania clay, learning how soil porosity affects drainage while their buddies played Xbox. “We did not just dig trenches,” Art explained to me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. “We learned how soil whispers secrets. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That’s Mother Nature yelling ‘high water table.'”
