Sand and Grit Trap Service

Site-aware grit trap cleaning and pumping for car washes, oil and gas facilities, and industrial sites — keeping sediment under control and your system flowing.

Grit traps fill with sand, sludge, and debris over time — and when they do, flow slows, backups form, and equipment strain follows. We clean and pump grit traps for car washes, oil and gas facilities, and industrial sites, restoring proper drainage and keeping your system compliant.

Best for: Car washes, oil and gas refineries, industrial facilities, commercial properties with sediment-heavy wastewater
