The Septic Dirty Truth: Why Most Companies Just Maintain (And We Build)
Posted: Thu Jan 01, 2026 10:13 am
Let me explain something the majority of septic companies refuse to: there are two types of people in this world. Those who think septic systems are just "underground boxes for waste," and those who have had raw sewage gurgling into their property at the dead of night. I discovered this distinction the difficult way in 2005—waist-deep in sludge, freezing in a Washington rainstorm, as my siblings and I assisted a veteran installer restore our family's broken system. I was fourteen. My hands blistered. My jeans were ruined. But that evening, something changed: This ain't just manual labor. It's families' lives we're protecting.
Here's the dirty truth: nearly all septic companies just maintain tanks. They are like band-aid salesmen at a disaster convention. But Septic Solutions? These guys are different. It all originated back in the early 2000s when Art and his family—just kids hardly tall enough to lift a shovel—assisted install their family's septic system alongside a weathered pro. Visualize this: three kids waist-deep in Pennsylvania clay, understanding how soil permeability affects drainage while their buddies played Xbox. "We did not just dig holes," Art explained to me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We discovered how ground whispers mysteries. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That's Mother Nature yelling 'high water table.'"
