"We Need Each Other"
HowardRix
I need to tell you something most septic companies won't: there are two categories of people in this reality. Those who believe septic systems are just "buried containers for waste," and those who have had raw sewage erupting into their backyard at the dead of night. I understood this reality the tough way in 2005—standing in muck, freezing in a Washington downpour, as my brothers and I helped a grizzled installer repair our family's collapsed system. I was fourteen. My hands ached. My clothes were ruined. But that moment, something crystallized: This ain't just dirt work. It's people's lives we are safeguarding.
Here's the ugly truth: most septic companies just service tanks. They are like band-aid salesmen at a disaster convention. But Septic Solutions? They are special. It all began back in the early 2000s when Art and his siblings—just kids hardly tall enough to lift a shovel—assisted install their family's septic system alongside a experienced pro. Picture this: three pre-teens knee-deep in Pennsylvania clay, learning how soil porosity affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. "We never just dig trenches," Art explained to me last winter, hot coffee cup in hand. "We understood how ground whispers secrets. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That's Mother Nature yelling 'high water table.'"
