Why Commercial Kitchens Choose Hartigan, A Wind River Company

Our technicians fully pump down your system rather than scooping out only the top layer. We remove grease, water, and settled solids so your trap or tank is reset to working capacity and less likely to back up between visits.

During each visit we inspect inlet and outlet pipes, confirm flow, and measure grease thickness. We stay current on local codes, FOG Program requirements, and Board of Health expectations so your service supports compliance instead of leaving you exposed.

• Full pump-down service. We vacuum pumping all contents and scrape walls to address both floating FOG and settled solids.
• System checks on every visit. Technicians check inlet and outlet conditions, baffles, and visible components, then verify flow before leaving.
• Scheduling that fits your operation. We work around your hours to reduce disruption for restaurants, cafeterias, and foodservice operations.
• Backed by Wind River Environmental. Access to advanced equipment, hydro jetting support, and a large vehicle fleet means reliable coverage across Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Northeastern NY.
• Environmentally responsible disposal. All grease trap waste is transported to licensed facilities for processing and disposal.
• Integrated maintenance programs. We can build a preventative maintenance program that covers interior grease traps, outside grease tanks, septic tanks, pump stations, and sewer line needs.

When you need a grease trap plumber who understands both plumbing and liquid waste systems, Hartigan, A Wind River Company has the training, equipment, and scale to handle single locations and multi-site portfolios.

Grease Trap Systems We Service

Commercial kitchens across restaurants, schools, hospitals, and institutions rely on several types of grease recovery devices. Our team services them all so you have a single point of contact for your commercial kitchen wastewater systems.

Outside Grease Tanks

We clean outside grease tanks, which are typically underground, large-capacity tanks that capture FOG before it enters the sewer. These systems hold significant volume and usually require vacuum pumping trucks and scraping to remove buildup along the walls and tees.

Indoor Grease Interceptors

We service indoor grease interceptors, the smaller units located inside your kitchen. Because of their size and constant exposure to FOG from sinks and dishwashers, these units fill faster and need more frequent grease trap cleaning to prevent slow drains and odors in the kitchen.

Indirect Waste Pit And Drainage System

We also maintain your indirect waste pit and drainage system. These systems function similarly to indoor grease interceptors and need regular cleanings so food particles and FOG do not clog lines, cause backups, or impact nearby work areas.

Whether you operate a single fast-casual restaurant or manage a network of high-volume kitchens, we can match service levels to each system type so you stay ahead of issues instead of reacting to them.
