In Depth Look

What’s Included in Our Car Wash Grit Removal Services

Car washes collect a unique mix of grit, road debris, soap, and solids that settle in underground tanks or traps. Without routine pumping, this material can clog drains, overflow tanks, or even damage your equipment. We remove buildup safely and thoroughly—so your system stays clean and efficient.

Grit Pit Pumping & Cleaning

We vacuum out grit pits and sludge traps to remove packed solids and restore flow.

Service includes:

  • Complete suction and washout
  • Removal of grit, sand, and solid debris
  • Disposal in accordance with local regulations

Sediment & Sludge Removal

Even with frequent use, these materials don’t wash away on their own. We extract what your rinse system can’t reach—keeping your tanks from overflowing or backing up.

Why it matters:

  • Prevents digging
  • Prevents overflowing

Drain Line Jetting

Grit and soap residue can accumulate in connecting pipes. Our jetting tools clean out drain lines to prevent blockages and protect downstream components.

Inspection & Performance Checkups

We provide scheduled inspections or one-time assessments to help you avoid unexpected shutdowns. After each service, we give you a clear picture of system performance and cleaning intervals.

Ben and company came out today and did a few repairs on my septic as well as a pumping. They came in a $100 cheaper than originally estimated and made the repairs quickly. I would recommend them for either pumping or repairs.

Highly recommend A&R. Jacob is extremely knowledgable in the the different types of septic systems from standard to Sludgehammer to Eljen which was very helpful in determining the type of system needed for a septic repair.

Jake and Ben at A&R Wastewater Management were amazing! We needed immediate assistance with our Sewage Pump/float and they were fast, efficient and kind. They saved us a lot of money, whereas another company was looking to get over on us. Ben answered all of our questions & couldn’t have been any nicer. We are very appreciative and will definitely use them for any of our future needs. We highly recommend them to anyone with Septic or wastewater problems. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We recently had to have our Septic system relocated in our yard - A&R Wastewater Management did a fantastic job and was very reasonably priced considering the size of our project. Jacob was great to work with; he was prompt and thorough with any questions we had, and they had the job completed in two days. Jacob also came back the next day to go over all the tasks that were done and to ensure we were 100% satisfied with the job performed. I highly recommend A&R Wastewater Management for any of your septic needs!

After several years of chemotherapy drugs being dumped into my septic system my septic field failed. Jacob designed and installed our new system. From the time Jacob started digging he had our system installed and back filled within 24 hours. Not only is Jacob the owner, but he did the installation too! I highly recommend A& R Waste Management for septic pumping or septic installation.
