Allow me to explain to you something you aren't going to hear from nearly all septic companies: I've actually been waist-deep in raw sewage since I was a preteen years old. Sounds appealing, right? Back in the blazing days of '98, my family and I thought our folks had lost their minds. Instead of signing up for little league like normal kids, we were digging trenches for our family's new septic system under the blistering Washington sun. Who knew those wounds would become our blueprint.

This is the ugly truth the majority of companies will not admit: Septic work isn't just about hardware. It is about understanding what happens underground after the machinery leaves. The majority of folks start in this business through maintenance vans. We? We launched with implements in our hands and muck up to our knees.

I'll never forget the day our installer, old Gus Petrovich, handed me a level and said, "Boy, if you cannot lay pipe straight, you will drown somebody's lawn in sewage by Tuesday." He wasn't wrong. We spent three days that July battling with a difficult clay bed near Redmond—shoveling, measuring, swearing, repeat. But here comes the kicker: Gus kept inviting us to jobs all over Snohomish County. By 15, I could identify a deteriorating drain field from 50 yards.

This is the DNA of Septic Solutions LLC. While others were busy buying expensive trucks, we were discovering why systems really fail. Like that nightmare project in '03 where we watched a "certified" crew install a tank with no regard for web page soil percolation. Three months later? Property looked like a wetland. We swore then: No half-measures. Not once.

Fast forward to 2009. My brother Art (you'll see his name all over our permits) practically bankrupted us demanding on thoroughly testing every perc test. "Remember the swamp house," he'd growl. We ate ramen for six months. But when the downturn hit? Our systems kept working while others collapsed. Suddenly, "Nikolin boys" was a thing shared between contractors.

Here's where we stand different: We construct systems like we will have to fix them ourselves. Because you know what? We typically do. Last Thanksgiving, Mrs. Callahan in Woodinville called panicking about a holiday overflow. Art went out in his dinner-soiled shirt. As it happened her "no-service" system installed in 2015 had a filter nobody told her about. We didn't just repair it—we instructed her grandson how to clean it.

You think this is standard? Not a chance. The majority of companies want you on a $200/month care plan. We rather you comprehend your system. Like that time we mapped out drainage diagrams on Dave Miller's kitchen table in Everett while his children added crayon clouds. Why? Because when Dave's willow tree roots invaded his leach field last spring, he spotted the soggy grass before it developed into a disaster.

Our secret sauce? It's not secret at all. It is in the blisters. In the way Art still takes the phone at (425) 553-3422 directly. In the Instagram reel where my nephew groans at a DIYer's "no-rock drain field masterpiece" (@septic_solutionsllc—check us out for laughs and solid tips). You'll see it in the YouTube video where we time-lapsed a 72-hour install in pouring Kirkland rain (@septicsolutionsllc).

But here's the real magic: We've turned each failure into your advantage. That mossy disaster in Bothell? Made us to add root barriers by default. The "ghost flush" mystery in Sammamish? Now we install effluent filters on every job. Even our tanks are different—we spec stronger concrete after seeing how Pacific Northwest winters crack cheaper models.

Don't just take my testimony for it. Ask the ex- Boeing engineer who challenged us to manage his sloping lot in Duvall. "No way," said three companies. We created him a pressurized system which has outlasted two of his cars. Or the young family in Monroe whose builder installed an undersized tank—we rebuilt their entire layout during a snowstorm without busting their budget.

This isn't corporate fluff. These are 25 years of numb fingers, misunderstood soil reports, and relentless pride in doing it correctly. We have cried over collapsed trenches in January downpours. Cheered when our sand-filter system preserved a historic Carnation farmhouse. Even laid to rest our favorite shovel (RIP #3) with Viking funeral honors after it shattered during an epic granite battle.

So if you're scrolling through septic companies wondering who won't vanish after the check clears? Consider the boys who still know their first lesson from Gus: "A good system hides. A superior system works while hiding." We didn't just establish this business—we developed it from the ground up, one genuine hole at a time.

Your turn. Tell me what your system hiding?
