Service Pumping & Drain Co., Inc.
About
Service Pumping & Drain is a North Reading company handling septic pumping, grease trap cleaning and drain work in Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. Services include septic system maintenance, high-pressure water jetting, sewer cleaning, catch basin and storm drain cleaning and trap cleaning for service lines. Its grease trap work serves commercial kitchens, food-service operations and multi-unit facilities, and its customers include a school group that uses it at three locations.
The company began in Wakefield in 1927 under the Hewitt family, serving the town by horse and wagon. Dick Mottolo bought it in 1972, when it had two employees and two pump trucks, and it has since grown into one of the state’s largest non-hazardous liquid waste haulers. His daughter Lara took over as president and owner in 2021. The family-run firm says its technicians are not sales-driven and recommend only the work a system needs.
