The Septic Harsh Truth: Why The Majority of Companies Just Pump (And We Build)
Posted: Thu Jan 01, 2026 4:32 am
I need to share with you something nearly all septic companies won't: there are two kinds of people in this reality. Those who assume septic systems are simply "underground boxes for waste," and those who have had raw sewage gurgling into their property at midnight. I learned this distinction the hard way in 2005—knee-deep in muck, shivering in a Washington downpour, as my family and I assisted a veteran installer restore our family's failed system. I was a teenager. My hands were raw. My clothes were destroyed. But that night, something crystallized: This is not just manual labor. It's families' lives that we're protecting.
Here's the ugly truth: the majority of septic companies just pump tanks. They are like quick-fix salesmen at a demolition convention. But Septic Solutions? They are unique. It all started back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his brothers—just kids scarcely tall enough to lift a shovel—aided install their family's septic system alongside a weathered pro. Picture this: three pre-teens knee-deep in Pennsylvania clay, discovering how soil permeability affects drainage while their peers played Xbox. "We did not just dig ditches," Art explained to me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We discovered how earth whispers truths. A patch of wetland vegetation here? That's Mother Nature yelling 'high water table.'"
