"We Need Each Other"
HowardRib
Allow me to share with you something the majority of septic companies refuse to: there are two categories of people in this life. Those who assume septic systems are just "underground boxes for waste," and those who've had raw sewage bubbling into their backyard at midnight. I learned this distinction the difficult way in 2005—standing in sludge, trembling in a Washington rainstorm, as my brothers and I assisted a weathered installer restore our family's broken system. I was a teenager. My hands blistered. My jeans were wrecked. But that evening, something crystallized: This isn't just manual labor. It's families' lives that we're preserving.
Here's the ugly truth: nearly all septic companies just maintain tanks. They are like quick-fix salesmen at a chainsaw convention. But Septic Solutions? These guys are unique. It all originated back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his brothers—just kids scarcely tall enough to shoulder a shovel—helped install their family's septic system alongside a grizzled pro. Imagine this: three youngsters knee-deep in Pennsylvania clay, understanding how soil porosity affects drainage while their friends played Xbox. "We never just dig ditches," Art shared with me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We understood how ground whispers secrets. A patch of cattails here? That's Mother Nature screaming 'high water table.'"
