 | I need to explain something the majority of septic companies won't: there are two types of people in this world. Those who assume septic systems are just "subterranean tanks for waste," and those who have had raw sewage bubbling into their backyard at 2 AM. I learned this difference the difficult way in 2005waist-deep in mud, shivering in a Washington downpour, as my family and I helped a weathered installer fix our family's failed system. I was 14. My hands were raw. My clothes were ruined. But that evening, something changed: This isn't just manual labor. It's families' lives that we're safeguarding. Here's the dirty truth: nearly all septic companies just maintain tanks. They're like band-aid salesmen at a demolition convention. But Septic Solutions? They're special. It all began back in the early 2000s when Art and his brothersjust kids scarcely tall enough to carry a shovelhelped install their family's septic system alongside a weathered pro. Imagine this: three pre-teens knee-deep in Pennsylvania clay, understanding how soil permeability affects drainage while their buddies played Xbox. "We never just dig holes," Art shared with me last winter, hot coffee cup in hand. "We understood how ground whispers truths. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That's Mother Nature shouting 'high water table.'" https://www.keepandshare.com/discuss2/39026/random-backflow-during-heavy-showers |
