How Sand Traps Work
Sand traps catch heavy grit, mud, and debris before it reaches your main sewer line. Water flows in, slows down, and particles settle to the bottom. Without regular pumping, accumulated sand restricts flow and causes backups into your wash bays.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
A full sand trap means grit enters your drainage pipes. Over time, sand accumulates in line walls and junctions, reducing flow until you experience standing water in bays, slow drains, and potential shutdown during business hours.
