"We Need Each Other"
Brentler
I need to explain something nearly all septic companies refuse to: there are two kinds of people in this life. Those who believe septic systems are merely "subterranean tanks for waste," and those who've had raw sewage bubbling into their yard at midnight. I learned this difference the tough way in 2005—knee-deep in mud, freezing in a Washington downpour, as my siblings and I assisted a weathered installer fix our family's collapsed system. I was fourteen. My hands were raw. My clothes were ruined. But that evening, something crystallized: This ain't just dirt work. It's folks' lives that we're protecting.
Here's the dirty truth: most septic companies just maintain tanks. They act like quick-fix salesmen at a chainsaw convention. But Septic Solutions? They're special. It all began back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his siblings—just kids hardly tall enough to lift a shovel—helped install their family's septic system alongside a grizzled pro. Imagine this: three pre-teens knee-deep in Pennsylvania clay, learning how soil porosity affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. "We did not just dig ditches," Art told me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We discovered how ground whispers mysteries. A patch of cattails here? That's Mother Nature shouting 'high water table.'"
