Why Grit Traps Matter

So Does Everything
That Comes Off The Cars.

Every vehicle brings dirt, sand, road debris, oils, and other material into the wash process. A grit trap helps separate heavier material from wastewater before it moves farther through your drainage or wastewater system.

When that material accumulates, flow and system performance can suffer.

Buildup vs. Downtime

Small Buildup.
Big Business Problem.

Dirt. Sand.Oil. Debris.



Buildup Accumulates.

Sediment and solids collect over time, reducing available capacity and restricting flow.


If Left Untreated


Then TheProblems Start.

Restricted flow through the wash system.

Drainage issues can take wash areas offline.

Poor flow can put additional stress on equipment.

Ignored buildup can become an operational problem.

The Longer Buildup Sits, The More It Can Cost Your Operation.

Routine grit trap service helps catch buildup before it becomes downtime.

I am impressed by the level of service with Epic Septic. After an initial snafu, which turns out was not their fault, they have been nothing short of excellent in helping remediate our issue. Very professional and communicative, and highly recommend!

Trent was great! We called for service last minute and they sent him next day. We got our tank emptied and cleaned quick and he was so polite explaining everything to us because we’ve never dealt with a septic system before.

This company is really great. We got a quote and they came out the next day because we had a leak in our yard and we thought it was coming from the septic. The epic septic guys got there earlier than we thought and helped me weed eat around the tank, got the tank cleared, inspected it and luckily found nothing. However, they went above and beyond and found the leak happening in the yard that we hadn’t been able to find so that we could call a plumber and tell them our exact issue. They didn’t have to do that but they did anyway and we are extremely grateful! Also, our invoice was significantly LESS than we were quoted which was another nice surprise. I don’t typically leave reviews and never thought I’d go out of my way to leave one for a septic company, but here we are due to the great, easy, and reasonably priced experience. Thanks guys!

Our service tech, Trenton, arrived ahead of quoted time. He was friendly, professional and conscientious. He provided updates on all work being done and recommended additions (riser lids) that would make future maintenance easier and cheaper, but without a hard sell. Quality work.

Epic Septic are responsive and know their industry well. I had an issue with my septic pumping system and they completed my work within three days of giving me a quote to actually completing and testing the work done! They are technology savy and can take care of all the paperwork electronically and efficiently. I highly recommend them!

My first review ever on Google. Epic was 5-stars in every way from customer service (Gabriela) to field tech (Trenton). Epic matched another quote I received to drain my tank, and even though they ended up pumping more -- due to a leak in my tank that Epic technician (Trenton) helped discover during the tank drain -- they still honored the price. Integrity is so important to me, and this company lives up to the hype.
Car Wash Grit Trap FAQ

Questions
From Operators.

What does a car wash grit trap collect?
A grit trap is designed to capture heavier materials such as dirt, sand, sediment, and other debris carried into the wastewater stream during washing before that material moves farther into the wastewater system.
Service frequency depends on factors such as wash volume, trap size, sediment load, system configuration, and applicable local requirements. EPIC can help evaluate your facility and service history to determine a practical maintenance schedule.
Depending on the system, service may include pumping accumulated wastewater and solids, removing sediment and grit, cleaning accessible interior areas, reviewing accessible inlet/outlet components, and documenting the completed service.
EPIC works with commercial customers to identify practical service windows based on scheduling availability and the needs of the facility.
Not necessarily. Hydro jetting or drain-line cleaning is a separate service that may be recommended when buildup exists beyond the grit trap itself.
EPIC can provide digital records documenting completed service to help businesses maintain an organized maintenance history.
