"We Need Each Other"
HowardEmill
I need to tell you something most septic companies will not: there are two categories of people in this reality. Those who believe septic systems are simply "subterranean tanks for waste," and those who have had raw sewage gurgling into their property at midnight. I learned this difference the tough way in 2005—waist-deep in mud, shivering in a Washington deluge, as my brothers and I aided a weathered installer fix our family's broken system. I was a teenager. My hands were raw. My clothes were ruined. But that evening, something crystallized: This isn't just dirt work. It's people's lives we are protecting.
Here's the harsh truth: the majority of septic companies just pump tanks. They're like band-aid salesmen at a chainsaw convention. But Septic Solutions? These guys are different. It all originated back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his siblings—just kids hardly tall enough to carry a shovel—aided install their family's septic system alongside a weathered pro. Picture this: three kids buried in Pennsylvania clay, discovering how soil permeability affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. "We did not just dig trenches," 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 yelling 'high water table.'"
