The Septic Ugly Truth: Why The Majority of Companies Just Service (And We Build)
Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2026 12:38 am
Allow me to share with you something most septic companies refuse to: there are two kinds of people in this reality. Those who assume septic systems are just "subterranean tanks for waste," and those who have had raw sewage erupting into their property at the dead of night. I discovered this difference the hard way in 2005—knee-deep in mud, trembling in a Washington deluge, as my brothers and I assisted a veteran installer repair our family's broken system. I was a teenager. My hands blistered. My pants were destroyed. But that moment, something changed: This isn't just digging. It's people's lives we're preserving.
Let me share the dirty truth: nearly all septic companies just service tanks. They are like temporary salesmen at a disaster convention. But Septic Solutions? They are different. It all originated back in the early 2000s when Art and his siblings—just kids barely tall enough to carry a shovel—aided install their family's septic system alongside a experienced pro. Picture this: three pre-teens buried in Pennsylvania clay, learning how soil absorption affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. "We didn't just dig holes," Art explained to me last winter, hot coffee cup in hand. "We learned how soil whispers truths. A patch of marsh plants here? That's Mother Nature screaming 'high water table.'"
