"We Need Each Other"
HowardGaips
I need to share with you something nearly all septic companies will not: there are two kinds of people in this world. Those who assume septic systems are just "underground boxes for waste," and those that have had raw sewage gurgling into their property at midnight. I understood this distinction the hard way in 2005—waist-deep in muck, trembling in a Washington rainstorm, as my siblings and I assisted a grizzled installer restore our family's failed system. I was a teenager. My hands were raw. My pants were destroyed. But that evening, something changed: This isn't just manual labor. It's folks' lives we are protecting.
This is the ugly truth: the majority of septic companies just maintain tanks. They act like temporary salesmen at a chainsaw 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 scarcely tall enough to lift a shovel—assisted install their family's septic system alongside a weathered pro. Imagine this: three youngsters knee-deep in Pennsylvania clay, understanding how soil absorption affects drainage while their friends played Xbox. "We did not just dig holes," Art told me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We learned how soil whispers truths. A patch of cattails here? That's Mother Nature yelling 'high water table.'"
