I need to explain something most septic companies will not: there are two types of people in this life. Those who assume septic systems are just "subterranean tanks for waste," and those who've had raw sewage erupting into their property at the dead of night. I discovered this difference the difficult way in 2005—standing in mud, trembling in a Washington deluge, as my siblings and I helped a grizzled installer repair our family's failed system. I was fourteen. My hands ached. My jeans were destroyed. But that evening, something changed: This isn't just dirt work. It's families' lives that we're protecting. This is the ugly truth: most septic companies just service tanks. They are like quick-fix salesmen at a disaster convention. But Septic Solutions? They're unique. It all originated back in the early 2000s when Art and his brothers—just kids hardly tall enough to shoulder a shovel—assisted install their family's septic system alongside a grizzled pro. Imagine this: three kids waist-deep in Pennsylvania clay, discovering how soil permeability affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. "We never just dig holes," Art told me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We learned how soil whispers secrets. A patch of cattails here? That's Mother Nature screaming 'high water table.'" https://www.keepandshare.com/discuss2/39026/random-backflow-during-heavy-showers
