Peninsula Drain & Septic (Port Angeles, Washington)

by Jennifer Janda | Jul 21, 2012

Dan Helgeson is a licensed septic inspector, installer, and pumper. Dan and his wife, Jennifer, formed Peninsula Drain & Septic (PDS) in 2008. Washington State monitoring and inspection requirements keep PDS busy in the summer, but the winter a very quiet time in the industry.

Dan knew that the year-round activity of septic pumping could help his business during the winter months. When a local pumper wanted to retire and sell his established business, PDS saw the business as an opportunity to provide year-around employment, creating a complete suite of septic services.

At the recommendation of First Federal Savings and Loan, PDS contacted Craft3 for a loan. Craft3 provided a microloan to purchase the assets of the septic pumping business.
