What is Trench or Pit Pumping?

Trench or pit pumping is the process of removing sludge from trenches or pits before it builds up to a level where it causes clogs and backup-related problems. This process entails using state-of-the-art equipment to pump out waste from a trench or pit and cleaning the area.

A trench or pit is an excavation that’s constructed in places like car washes and garages to collect and hold wastewater and debris like mud, gravel, and grit. The wastewater and debris that falls from vehicles collect in a trench or pit.

Trench or pit pumping is an integral part of maintaining a properly functioning trench and preventing waste flooding. Without regular pumping of trenches or pits, they can overflow and result in a dirty space and health problems. 

When it’s time to pump out your trench, be sure to call an experienced septic company to get the job done.

How Does A Trench Or Pit Work?

A trench or pit runs through the center of a car wash or truck garage and has an oil-water separator that separates oil from water, as its name suggests, and an area where debris collects.

Importance of Trench or Pit Pumping

Trench pumping prevents backup-related issues such as slow drainage and strange odors. As the sludge collects in the pit over time, it needs to be pumped out to prevent backups. If you don't pump out your trench or pit, you'll end up spending more money on fixing major problems that would arise later on. In addition, pit pumping improves the efficiency of your trenches or pits and keeps them in good working order.

How Often Should You Pump Out Your Trenches or Pits?

This will depend on the size of your trenches or pits and usage. A smaller trench in a busy carwash will need to be pumped out more often as compared to a larger trench.

Reasons to Hire an Experienced Septic Company for Trench or Pit Pumping

Trench pumping requires the right equipment and experience to get the job done right. Therefore, this is not the kind of job you can do by yourself if you don’t have the right equipment and experience to perform efficient trench pumping. When it’s time to pump out your trench or pit, call an experienced septic company to get the job done. A reliable septic company will come in with the right tools and equipment and do a good job in a timely manner.
