"We Need Each Other"
HowardGaips
Let me tell you something the majority of septic companies won't: there are two kinds of people in this life. Those who believe septic systems are merely "underground boxes for waste," and those who have had raw sewage bubbling into their property at midnight. I understood this distinction the tough way in 2005—waist-deep in sludge, freezing in a Washington downpour, as my family and I assisted a weathered installer fix our family's collapsed system. I was fourteen. My hands were raw. My clothes were wrecked. But that night, something crystallized: This isn't just dirt work. It's families' lives that we're protecting.
Here's the ugly truth: the majority of septic companies just pump tanks. They are like temporary salesmen at a disaster convention. But Septic Solutions? They're different. It all began back in the early 2000s when Art and his brothers—just kids scarcely tall enough to shoulder a shovel—assisted install their family's septic system alongside a grizzled pro. Visualize this: three youngsters knee-deep in Pennsylvania clay, discovering how soil permeability affects drainage while their friends played Xbox. "We did not just dig trenches," Art shared with me last winter, steaming coffee cup in hand. "We discovered how ground whispers secrets. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That's Mother Nature screaming 'high water table.'"
