Environmental Enhancements, Inc., Dartmouth, NS

Founded in 2003, Environmental Enhancements was the result of a personal hardship caused by a common, yet largely unrecognized, problem with septic systems. After only 1 years in my new home, I had the pleasure of cleaning up 2 inches of sewer effluent in my basement. My septic tank outlet pipe had become blocked with washing machine lint. Much like dryer lint, I discovered that washing machines break down clothing fibers and pump them into septic systems during the rinse cycle. I designed and fabricated my own prototype the Lint LUV-R Septic SAV-R. I have been using this product in my home for 18 years and have now sold over 7500 units internationally through my home-based business.
