How a car wash grit trap works
A grit trap is a chamber under the bay. It lets sand and solids settle before water moves on. Therefore, it protects your drains, your pumps and the sewer.
However, a trap only works when it has room left.
Signs your grit trap needs cleaning
- Water pooling on the bay floor
- Slow drains after each wash
- Grit in the reclaim system
- Odors near the pit
- It has been months since the last cleaning

Our grit trap cleaning process
First, we check the trap and the depth of solids. Next, the vacuum truck removes water, sludge and sand. Finally, we rinse the chamber and confirm it drains.
Because everything goes into the truck, the bay stays clean.
Compliance and disposal
Grit trap waste must be handled properly. Therefore, we haul it to an approved disposal facility close to the job. That keeps your wash on the right side of local requirements.
Buffalo winters fill traps fast
Buffalo roads carry heavy sand and salt all winter. Meanwhile, every car brings that load into your bay. Many owners schedule a cleaning at the end of winter and again in fall.
