"We Need Each Other"
BrentInord
Allow me to share with you something most septic companies will not: there are two categories of people in this world. Those who assume septic systems are merely "underground boxes for waste," and those who have had raw sewage erupting into their property at 2 AM. I learned this distinction the hard way in 2005—waist-deep in mud, trembling in a Washington downpour, as my siblings and I assisted a grizzled installer restore our family's collapsed system. I was a teenager. My hands blistered. My clothes were destroyed. But that moment, something crystallized: This is not just manual labor. It's families' lives that we're safeguarding.
Here's the harsh truth: most septic companies just pump tanks. They're like band-aid salesmen at a demolition convention. But Septic Solutions? They are different. It all began back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his brothers—just kids barely tall enough to carry a shovel—helped install their family's septic system alongside a experienced pro. Imagine this: three kids knee-deep in Pennsylvania clay, learning how soil permeability affects drainage while their friends played Xbox. "We never just dig trenches," Art explained to me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We learned how soil whispers truths. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That's Mother Nature screaming 'high water table.'"
