The Septic Dirty Truth: Why The Majority of Companies Just Service (And We Build)
Posted: Sun Jan 11, 2026 2:00 am
Let me share with you something the majority of septic companies refuse to: there are two types of people in this reality. Those who assume septic systems are just "underground boxes for waste," and those who've had raw sewage bubbling into their yard at midnight. I discovered this difference the tough way in 2005—waist-deep in mud, trembling in a Washington rainstorm, as my siblings and I helped a grizzled installer restore our family's broken system. I was 14. My hands were raw. My pants were wrecked. But that night, something crystallized: This isn't just manual labor. It's folks' lives we are safeguarding.
Here's the harsh truth: the majority of septic companies just pump tanks. They are like temporary salesmen at a disaster convention. But Septic Solutions? These guys are special. It all started back in the early 2000s when Art and his family—just kids barely tall enough to shoulder a shovel—assisted install their family's septic system alongside a weathered pro. Picture this: three youngsters knee-deep in Pennsylvania clay, understanding how soil permeability affects drainage while their buddies played Xbox. "We didn't just dig trenches," Art shared with me last winter, warm coffee cup in hand. "We learned how ground whispers secrets. A patch of marsh plants here? That's Mother Nature shouting 'high water table.'"
