"We Need Each Other"
HowardGaips
Allow me to share with you something nearly all septic companies will not: there are two kinds of people in this life. Those who think septic systems are just "buried containers for waste," and those who've had raw sewage erupting into their property at the dead of night. I understood this difference the hard way in 2005—standing in sludge, trembling in a Washington deluge, as my siblings and I aided a weathered installer fix our family's collapsed system. I was fourteen. My hands were raw. My pants were ruined. But that evening, something crystallized: This isn't just digging. It's folks' lives that we're protecting.
Here's the ugly truth: the majority of septic companies just maintain tanks. They're like temporary salesmen at a chainsaw convention. But Septic Solutions? These guys are unique. It all started back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his siblings—just kids scarcely tall enough to lift a shovel—assisted install their family's septic system alongside a grizzled pro. Imagine this: three kids buried in Pennsylvania clay, learning how soil permeability affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. "We did not just dig trenches," Art told me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We discovered how earth whispers secrets. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That's Mother Nature shouting 'high water table.'"
