The Septic Harsh Truth: Why The Majority of Companies Just Pump (And We Build)
Posted: Thu Jan 01, 2026 5:16 pm
Let me explain something nearly all septic companies will not: there are two kinds of people in this reality. Those who think septic systems are just "buried containers for waste," and those who have had raw sewage bubbling into their property at midnight. I learned this distinction the hard way in 2005—standing in sludge, freezing in a Washington deluge, as my family and I assisted a grizzled installer restore our family's broken system. I was fourteen. My hands were raw. My jeans were ruined. But that moment, something crystallized: This isn't just digging. It's people's lives we are protecting.
This is the ugly truth: nearly all septic companies just service tanks. They're like band-aid salesmen at a demolition convention. But Septic Solutions? These guys are different. It all originated back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his brothers—just kids barely tall enough to lift a shovel—aided install their family's septic system alongside a weathered pro. Visualize this: three pre-teens waist-deep in Pennsylvania clay, learning how soil permeability affects drainage while their buddies played Xbox. "We did not just dig ditches," Art told me last winter, steaming coffee cup in hand. "We learned how soil whispers secrets. A patch of marsh plants here? That's Mother Nature screaming 'high water table.'"
