"We Need Each Other"
Brentler
I need to explain something nearly all septic companies will not: there are two categories of people in this reality. Those who think septic systems are merely "subterranean tanks for waste," and those who've had raw sewage erupting into their yard at midnight. I learned this reality the hard way in 2005—standing in sludge, shivering in a Washington rainstorm, as my family and I aided a weathered installer fix our family's broken system. I was a teenager. My hands ached. My pants were destroyed. But that evening, something clicked: This isn't just manual labor. It's people's lives we're preserving.
This is the harsh truth: nearly all septic companies just pump tanks. They're like temporary salesmen at a chainsaw convention. But Septic Solutions? They are unique. It all started back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his siblings—just kids scarcely tall enough to shoulder a shovel—assisted install their family's septic system alongside a experienced pro. Picture this: three pre-teens waist-deep in Pennsylvania clay, discovering how soil absorption affects drainage while their buddies played Xbox. "We never just dig holes," Art shared with me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We discovered how soil whispers secrets. A patch of cattails here? That's Mother Nature shouting 'high water table.'"
