Q. How do I know this system is right for me? 

A. Clearly, if your soil does not perk, this is a system you will have to have if you are to build on your lot and central sewer is not available. Also, we can help you even if your lot does perk. If you are environmentally sensitive, you might select our system rather than put septic liquids from a standard septic and drainfield into the ground.   

Q. I have heard that engineered system are noisy. Is that true?

 A. Some systems are noisier than others, however Enviro-Klean’s preferred system, the Norweco system, is completely buried and the aeration pump is located inside the system. 

Q. What about foul odors?                                                                                                                                                                                    

A. There are no odors as long as the system is running properly.   

Q. Is servicing the system a problem?                                                                                                                                                                 

A. No. This involves checking out all elements to make sure they are operating properly and cleaning the non-biodegradable sediment filter. This work can be done without the nuisance of appointments with the homeowner.

 Q. Does Enviro Klean offer ongoing service/maintenance agreements? 

A. Enviro-Klean Co. offers yearly service/maintenance agreements. The Virginia Department of Health recently issued regulations under new legislation which requires a system owner to maintain a “relationship” with a certified operator like the Enviro-Klean Co.   Q. What if the aerator motor fails? Is this expensive? A. An on-site alarm will alert the owner to any malfunction. If the motor has failed, it is covered by a 50-year prorated warranty which declines in payout similar to that on automobile batteries.   

Q. Where is the Enviro-Klean Company? 

A. Our address is 225B Four Winds Ln. 23084. The physical facility is .3 mile south of the traffic light at the intersection of Rts. 250 and 15, just off I-64 between Charlottesville and Richmond.     

Q. Is this system permitted in my county? 

A. Yes. The system is approved by the Virginia Department of Health/Department of Environmental Quality for use throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Enviro-Klean has systems installed in Albemarle, Fauquier, Madison, Orange, Culpeper, Fluvanna, Buckingham, Louisa, Spotsylvania, Cumberland, Amelia, Greene, Goochland, Caroline and Powatan Counties.
