"We Need Each Other"
BrentInord
I need to share with you something most septic companies won't: there are two categories of people in this life. Those who think septic systems are just "subterranean tanks for waste," and those who've had raw sewage gurgling into their backyard at the dead of night. I understood this distinction the difficult way in 2005—waist-deep in muck, freezing in a Washington rainstorm, as my family and I aided a weathered installer restore our family's failed system. I was 14. My hands were raw. My clothes were destroyed. But that evening, something clicked: This ain't just digging. It's folks' lives that we're preserving.
This is the ugly truth: most septic companies just service tanks. They act like quick-fix salesmen at a demolition convention. But Septic Solutions? These guys are different. It all began back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his family—just kids barely tall enough to lift a shovel—helped install their family's septic system alongside a experienced pro. Imagine this: three kids buried in Pennsylvania clay, discovering how soil absorption affects drainage while their friends played Xbox. "We didn't just dig holes," Art told me last winter, steaming coffee cup in hand. "We learned how soil whispers truths. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That's Mother Nature screaming 'high water table.'"
