Let me tell you something the majority of septic companies won't: there are two categories of people in this life. Those who think septic systems are merely "buried containers for waste," and those who've had raw sewage erupting into their yard at 2 AM. I discovered this reality the tough way in 2005—standing in mud, trembling in a Washington downpour, as my siblings and I helped a grizzled installer repair our family's broken system. I was 14. My hands blistered. My pants were destroyed. But that night, something changed: This is not just manual labor. It's families' lives we're preserving. Here's the harsh truth: nearly all septic companies just maintain tanks. They are like band-aid salesmen at a chainsaw convention. But Septic Solutions? They are unique. It all originated back in the early 2000s when Art and his siblings—just kids hardly tall enough to carry a shovel—aided install their family's septic system alongside a experienced pro. Imagine this: three pre-teens waist-deep in Pennsylvania clay, discovering how soil permeability affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. "We didn't just dig ditches," Art shared with me last winter, steaming coffee cup in hand. "We learned how soil whispers secrets. A patch of cattails here? That's Mother Nature yelling 'high water table.'" https://www.mixcloud.com/gwennowuav/
