The Septic Ugly Truth: Why Nearly All Companies Just Service (And We Build)

by Brentliz » Sat Jan 10, 2026 1:06 pm

Let me explain something nearly all septic companies will not: there are two types of people in this life. Those who believe septic systems are just "underground boxes for waste," and those who've had raw sewage erupting into their backyard at the dead of night. I understood this distinction the difficult way in 2005—standing in muck, shivering in a Washington deluge, as my brothers and I assisted a weathered installer fix our family's broken system. I was fourteen. My hands blistered. My clothes were wrecked. But that evening, something changed: This isn't just dirt work. It's people's lives that we're safeguarding.
Here's the dirty truth: the majority of septic companies just maintain tanks. They're like quick-fix salesmen at a chainsaw convention. But Septic Solutions? They are unique. It all began back in the beginning of the 2000s when Art and his brothers—just kids scarcely tall enough to carry a shovel—assisted install their family's septic system alongside a grizzled pro. Visualize this: three pre-teens knee-deep in Pennsylvania clay, learning how soil permeability affects drainage while their friends played Xbox. "We did not just dig ditches," Art shared with me last winter, steaming coffee cup in hand. "We discovered how earth whispers secrets. A patch of marsh plants here? That's Mother Nature shouting 'high water table.'"
