"We Need Each Other"
HowardGaips
Let me explain something most septic companies will not: there are two categories of people in this world. Those who think septic systems are merely "subterranean tanks for waste," and those who have had raw sewage bubbling into their property at midnight. I learned this reality the tough way in 2005—standing in mud, freezing in a Washington rainstorm, as my family and I assisted a veteran installer restore our family's failed system. I was fourteen. My hands ached. My jeans were wrecked. But that night, something changed: This is not just dirt work. It's families' lives we are protecting.
Here's the ugly truth: most septic companies just maintain tanks. They're like band-aid salesmen at a disaster convention. But Septic Solutions? These guys are special. It all began back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his family—just kids barely tall enough to lift a shovel—helped install their family's septic system alongside a weathered pro. Picture this: three kids waist-deep in Pennsylvania clay, learning how soil absorption affects drainage while their friends played Xbox. "We did not just dig holes," Art shared with me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We discovered how soil whispers mysteries. A patch of marsh plants here? That's Mother Nature screaming 'high water table.'"
