Aerobic Treatment Unit (ATU) Maintenance in Richmond
If your home uses an aerobic treatment unit (ATU) instead of a standard septic system, proper maintenance is critical. ATUs have mechanical parts, aeration systems and require routine inspections to ensure they’re functioning correctly.
Wind River Environmental is an authorized ATU service provider for many manufacturers and can perform all required inspections, maintenance, and repairs to keep your system in compliance with Virginia regulations.
Tips to Extend the Life of Your Septic System
In addition to professional septic tank pumping, you can help extend the life of your septic system with a few simple practices:
- Pump regularly: Schedule septic pumping every 3–5 years (or more frequently for larger households).
- Conserve water: Spread out laundry loads, fix leaks, and install low-flow fixtures.
- Avoid harmful waste: Never flush grease, chemicals, wipes, or medications.
- Protect your drain field: Keep trees and shrubs with large root systems away from your septic area.
- Repair leaks promptly: Leaky toilets or faucets can overload your system.
By following these tips and scheduling regular service with our team, you’ll save money on repairs and avoid major system failures.

Brockwell’s did a routine septic tank cleaning service for me. Everyone was very friendly & helpful (particularly with all of my questions as a new home owner). They responded quickly and communicated well about my service. I really appreciated the phone call updates from Ray when he arrived & was finished. Great customer service. Very happy with Brockwell’s overall!

COREY and RAY were awesome! SUPER FRIENDLY and KNOWLEDGEABLE. Got the job done and referred me to the right person to help me out with the other problem I am having with the pump itself. Thanks a million guys! This was my very first septic experience and you guys informed me very well.
