Residential ServicesWe recommend that residential septic customers protect them-

selves with regular preventive maintenance of their waste disposal

systems, including septic tanks and pump stations. When you

become a Hartigan customer, we maintain detailed information

about your system, including dates of recommended service. You

will receive a reminder, every 3 years, to schedule service. Our pro-

fessional, trained and certified technician will arrive at your

location and thoroughly inspect your system then give you a

condition report of your system.

Further camera inspections may be performed on the empty tank

and lines if needed. If repairs or other services are required,

Hartigan will assist you with resolving your problems.

Vacuum ServicesHartigan’s fleet of vacuum trucks are capable of removing liquids from wet wells, manholes,

pump stations, septic tanks, communication manholes, sludge digesters, railcars and a

multitude of other tank scenarios. Tanks from 50 gallons to 500,000 gallons are easily

managed using truck mounted vacuum equipment. It is Hartigan’s objective to provide the

safest and most economical solution for all your liquid handling needs.

We firmly believe that preventive maintenance is the solution to eliminating interruptions in

daily operations caused by waste or storm water issues. This is why Hartigan can assist you

with developing a maintenance program that fits your specific needs. Whether it is an interior

grease trap, exterior grease tank, backyard septic, pump station, or 80 miles of sewer line,

Hartigan will develop a maintenance program that provides all the assurance needed to

comply with today’s demands.

Vactor ServicesWhen you need equip-

ment capable of removing

sand, rocks, grease, roots

and other large objects, we

are prepared. Hartigan will

our Vactor 2115 with 5,000

cfm blower in conjunction

with 100 gpm/3000 psi. This

provides municipalities,

commercial establishments

and industrial complexes the

comprehensive cleaning and

documentation needed to comply with current state, county and mu-

nicipal requirements. Hartigan is the complete solution for all of your

wastewater and storm water needs.

Hartigan: Here for New England’s Wastewater Needs

Lining Systems, Cured-In-Place Pipe Repairs (CIPP)Hartigan offers a range of trenchless repair systems, from cured-

in-place pipe repairs (CIPP) to main line sectional point repairs. These

lining systems are an alternative to digging and replacing sewer lines

with cracked or missing sections of pipe, root intrusion or water infil-

tration without costly excavation to property. These trenchless repair

methods are aimed at the municipal, residential and commercial

infrastructure addressing pipe sized from 2- to 72-inches in diameter.

Video Line InspectionWith today’s new collection system demands, infrastructure assess-

ment is critical to any operation. Whether the need is to identify

infiltration in an existing system or evaluate potential problem areas,

Hartigan has the equipment to meet your needs. Our technicians

will conduct an analysis of all appointed infrastructures using closed

circuit video inspection equipment. Inspections are used to docu-

ment the condition of underground infrastructure before purchas-

ing property or to identify the source of an existing problem.

Hartigan Company’s video inspection equipment utilizes a self-

propelled transporter with a 360° high-resolution camera allowing

for a complete overview of your system. Our cameras will survey

lines from 4- to 72-inch diameter lines with moderate flows. Robotic

inspections reveal obstructions, cracked lines and leaks before site

work begins. All video data collected is

recorded onto a CD or DVD format for

cataloging. Hartigan will pinpoint your

problem so the most cost-effective solu-

tion can be determined.

Line CleaningHartigan uses the most

advanced line cleaning equipment

available. Our advanced jetting sys-

tem offers a method of line clean-

ing that surpasses the traditional

cold cutting or auguring methods.

These self-contained service units

are capable of delivering 3,000 PSI

of 170 degrees Fahrenheit water

delivered through high-pressure

nozzles to ensure the removal of all

grease and deposits from inside your lines. Whether it is a 1-inch sink

line or a 72-inch main sanitary line Hartigan will provide the jetting

solution for all your line-cleaning needs.

Portable Toilet Rental & ServiceThe Hartigan Company delivers and services portable toilets in Cen-

tral and Northern Vermont locations. Standard and Enhanced Access

portable toilets are available for commercial and residential uses as

well as construction sites and special events. We also have a deluxe

portable toilet trailer, called “The Crowd Pleaser” for special events

when sinks with running water and flushable toilets are desired.

Qualifications, Compliance and PermittingAll of Hartigan Company’s professional technicians are fully familiar

with Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations,

as well as the Federal Safety and Health Act for Hazardous Waste

Operations and Emergency Response requirements.

Technicians performing line inspections are certified by the

Pipeline Assessment and Certification Program.

Every Hartigan team member has successfully completed train-

ing in Confined Space Entry and Hazardous Materials Handling.

Furthermore, all staff members are familiar with the Department of

Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety regulations concern-

ing the operation of commercial motor vehicles.

mentation needed to comply with federal and state regulations for

wastewater management, wastewater handling and underground

infrastructure.

water management and environmental quality. We are familiar

with all required reporting and compliance procedures required by

federal and state laws and environmental regulations. We report as

mandated to Vermont’s Agency of Natural Resources.

Knowledge and Training

Where is Hartigan located?

Our office is centrally located in Middlesex, VT

Is Hartigan part of a big national corporation?

No. Hartigan is locally owned and owner-operated.

How much do municipal services cost?

We tailor service programs to accommodate your

municipal budgetary constraints.

What is your availability and response time?

Response time to any emergency is the highest priority. Our

fleet of service vehicles are constantly in transit throughout

Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, and Maine and are able

to be rerouted to your location — within minutes of

your call.

What is a septic system?

A septic system is actually a small sewage treatment and

disposal system with two main components: a septic tank, and

a soil absorption area (also commonly called a “leach field.”)

What happens in a septic tank?

When household waste enters the tank, organic solids float to

the surface. Inorganics sink to the bottom. Bacteria decom-

pose the organic matter, and relatively clear water flows out of

the tank into the soil absorption area.

Why should I have my home’s septic tank serviced?

A septic tank is just one component of your home’s larger

septic system. Failure to service the tank regularly can cause

the entire system to fail.

How often should my tank be serviced?

The average residential system should be serviced every three

years. System filters should be cleaned every six months.

What signs would tell me if my system is in trouble?

Sluggish toilets and backups. Gurgling toilets and drains,

septic odors or pooling water on or around leach field and

pumpstations. Saturated ground on and around your system

What could cause my septic system to fail?

A wide variety of things. Incorrect installation and/or

placement. Overloading or exceeding the systems designed

limitations. Excessive water use such as a leaking toilet, can

cause a system to fail. Inorganic materials like feminine

hygiene products, cigarette butts. Avoid putting kitchen

grease down your drains.

Should I be putting special additives into my septic tank?

NO! Additives are not necessary for a properly operating

system

What kinds of maintenance do I need to do to keep my

system working properly?

1: Sludge that gathers in the bottom of the septic tank has to

be pumped out on a regular basis. Frequency depends on tank

size, intensity of use, and system health.

2: Don’t introduce chemicals into the tank that can kill bacte-

ria, that digest solids. The list is long, but in most households

this includes bleach, water softeners, ammonia, chemical

cleaners, detergents, disinfectants, toilet cleaners, polishes,

sink and tub cleaners, and caustic drain openers.

3: Don’t use a garbage disposal! ( They double the amount of

solids in the tank.)

4: Plant ONLY grass on or near the leach field. No trees, shrubs

or structures.

5: Divert storm water away from the leach field. Fluids are

being absorbed underground, too much saturation is not a

good thing.

Are there any alternatives to having my entire yard dug up

if there is a problem with the sewer line - such as roots

or cracks?

YES! Hartigan has the capacity to perform trenchless repairs to

collector lines, using a cured-in-place system called “slip lining”

This product is a resin-based lining system to reinstate pipe

lines to their original working condition.
