"We Need Each Other"
BrentCag
Let me share with you something most septic companies will not: there are two types of people in this world. Those who assume septic systems are merely "subterranean tanks for waste," and those who've had raw sewage bubbling into their backyard at 2 AM. I learned this distinction the hard way in 2005—waist-deep in sludge, freezing in a Washington downpour, as my brothers and I aided a grizzled installer restore our family's failed system. I was fourteen. My hands ached. My pants were destroyed. But that moment, something changed: This is not just dirt work. It's folks' lives that we're safeguarding.
This is the dirty truth: the majority of septic companies just pump tanks. They act like quick-fix salesmen at a demolition convention. But Septic Solutions? They are unique. It all started back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his family—just kids hardly tall enough to carry a shovel—helped install their family's septic system alongside a grizzled pro. Picture this: three pre-teens buried in Pennsylvania clay, discovering how soil absorption affects drainage while their buddies played Xbox. "We didn't just dig trenches," Art explained to me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We learned how earth whispers mysteries. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That's Mother Nature screaming 'high water table.'"
