On an ordinary day in 1989, Nancy Smith’s late husband Doug Smith accidentally ran over a septic tank with his dump truck, breaking the lid. Dirt rained down into the tank, and Doug knew he needed to have it pumped out. Unfortunately, he soon discovered that septic tank pumpers don’t like to pump systems that have dirt in them. The dirt gets in the pumpers tank and is difficult to remove. Doug called many vacuum truck operators trying to solve the problem. One man told him he was no longer in business but offered to sell him a vacuum truck. That sounded like a good idea to Doug and before long his septic service was open for business. The company’s name evolved and now, about 30 years after it’s unlikely beginning, is known as A-1 Smith’s Septic Service, Inc.
