"We Need Each Other"
BrentInord
Allow me to explain something nearly all septic companies refuse to: there are two types of people in this world. Those who think septic systems are merely "subterranean tanks for waste," and those that have had raw sewage gurgling into their yard at the dead of night. I understood this distinction the tough way in 2005—waist-deep in sludge, freezing in a Washington deluge, as my brothers and I helped a grizzled installer repair our family's broken system. I was a teenager. My hands ached. My pants were destroyed. But that moment, something changed: This is not just dirt work. It's folks' lives we are preserving.
Here's the ugly truth: the majority of septic companies just pump tanks. They act like quick-fix salesmen at a chainsaw convention. But Septic Solutions? They're special. It all originated back in the early 2000s when Art and his brothers—just kids hardly tall enough to carry a shovel—assisted install their family's septic system alongside a grizzled pro. Visualize this: three kids waist-deep in Pennsylvania clay, understanding how soil permeability affects drainage while their buddies played Xbox. "We never just dig trenches," Art shared with me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We learned how ground whispers mysteries. A patch of marsh plants here? That's Mother Nature screaming 'high water table.'"
