The service

What we do

Pit and separator cleaning for car washes and truck wash bays, keeping the system draining and compliant.

Most people who call us run a car wash or a transport depot and have a pit filling up. If that sounds like your situation, ring the office or send the details through the contact form and we will give you a straight price and a day.

What is included

  • Pump out the pit to remove dirt, grease, chemicals and litter
  • Clean the separator so the system starts draining properly again
  • Transport the waste under EPA rules to a licensed facility
  • An EPA certificate you can show a regulator
  • A regular schedule set up around your busy hours

Common questions

How often should a car wash pit be cleaned?

Every three to six months, depending on how busy the wash is. Most operators go on a set schedule so they never have to think about it, and it never gets to the point of clogging.

What happens if I let the pit go?

Debris and sludge build up, the pit clogs, the wash equipment starts underperforming and overflow can spill into surrounding water. That is both an equipment repair bill and a compliance problem.

Can I do it myself?

You can, but the waste has to be discarded under environmental rules or the fine risk sits with the business. It is also unpleasant work. A professional service takes both parts off you.

Do you provide the compliance paperwork?

Yes. We give you an EPA certificate after the service to show the waste was disposed of correctly.
