Allow me to tell you something the majority of septic companies will not: there are two types of people in this life. Those who assume septic systems are simply "buried containers for waste," and those who have had raw sewage bubbling into their yard at the dead of night. I discovered this distinction the difficult way in 2005knee-deep in mud, shivering in a Washington rainstorm, as my family and I assisted a weathered installer restore our family's failed system. I was fourteen. My hands ached. My jeans were destroyed. But that moment, something clicked: This isn't just manual labor. It's families' lives we are protecting. This is the ugly truth: the majority of septic companies just maintain tanks. They are like temporary salesmen at a disaster convention. But Septic Solutions? They are different. It all began back in the early 2000s when Art and his brothersjust kids hardly tall enough to shoulder a shovelaided install their family's septic system alongside a experienced pro. Picture this: three pre-teens waist-deep in Pennsylvania clay, learning how soil absorption affects drainage while their buddies played Xbox. "We didn't just dig trenches," Art shared with me last winter, steaming coffee cup in hand. "We learned how ground whispers mysteries. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That's Mother Nature shouting 'high water table.'" https://www.instapaper.com/read/1951469487
