Car Wash Drainage, Wash-Bay & Catch Basin Cleaning
Wash-bay drains, trench drains, and catch basins cleaned of sand, grit, and sludge so car wash facilities keep draining properly.
Car washes send a steady stream of sand, road grit, mud, and soap residue into their drainage systems. Left alone, that sediment settles in trench drains and catch basins until water starts standing in the bays. We clean car wash drainage systems so wash bays drain quickly and stay safe to work in.
When to call us
- Water standing in wash bays after a cycle
- Trench drain grates packed with grit
- Catch basins visibly full of sediment
- Odors from bay drains
- Water draining noticeably slower than usual
What we clean
- Wash-bay floor drains and trench drains
- Catch basins and sediment pits
- Drain lines leading from the bays
Why car wash drains need regular attention
Heavy solids drop out of the wash water as it slows down. That's by design: catch basins are meant to trap grit before it reaches the drain lines. But once a basin is full, sediment flows straight into the pipes and packs them. Standing water in the bays slows down your operation, can create slick surfaces, and can freeze in winter.
Keeping downtime low
Because we're open 24 hours, we can work with you to schedule cleaning during slow periods or after hours. We also clean commercial floor drains and storm drains on the same property.
What to expect
Assess the system
We check bays, trench drains, and basins to see where sediment has built up.
Remove sediment
We clear sand, grit, and sludge from basins and trenches.
Clean the lines
We clear the drain lines beyond the basins.
Flow check
We confirm water drains from the bays as it should.
Tips to prevent problems
- Check catch basins on a regular schedule, not just when bays flood
- Keep grates in place and undamaged
- Rinse heavy mud off equipment away from drains when possible
- Call at the first sign of slow draining

Can you clean during off hours?
Yes. We're open 24 hours, so we can schedule around your business.
