The Septic Ugly Truth: Why The Majority of Companies Just Maintain (And We Build)
Posted: Wed Dec 31, 2025 12:25 am
Let me explain something nearly all septic companies will not: there are two kinds of people in this life. Those who assume septic systems are merely "subterranean tanks for waste," and those that have had raw sewage erupting into their backyard at 2 AM. I learned this difference the tough way in 2005—waist-deep in mud, freezing in a Washington downpour, as my brothers and I helped a weathered installer fix our family's collapsed system. I was 14. My hands blistered. My clothes were ruined. But that night, something crystallized: This isn't just dirt work. It's people's lives that we're protecting.
Here's the ugly truth: the majority of septic companies just maintain tanks. They are like quick-fix salesmen at a demolition convention. But Septic Solutions? They're special. It all originated back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his brothers—just kids hardly tall enough to carry a shovel—helped install their family's septic system alongside a grizzled pro. Visualize this: three pre-teens knee-deep in Pennsylvania clay, discovering how soil absorption affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. "We didn't just dig ditches," Art explained to me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We discovered how earth whispers mysteries. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That's Mother Nature yelling 'high water table.'"
