The importance of maintaining gullies
Gullies are located at the side of the roads across Surrey, and therefore have an essential factor in the safety of its road users. Blocked drains are commonly known for the odours that linger around them, but the repercussions could introduce danger to the roads. Without the ability to drain away, water can begin to pool, creating unsafe, slippery road surfaces. In these conditions, Surrey’s drivers will be required to navigate the road with increased stopping distances and slower speeds. One small mistake could lead to the harm of drivers, passengers or even pedestrians.
Regularly maintaining the gullies on the side of Surrey’s roads will not only create safe journeying throughout the county, but also reduce costly work from being required in the future. A build-up inside of a gully can prevent it from functioning as it was designed to, and if left to sit over an extended period of time, could lead to lasting damage. Maintenance can prevent costly repair work, and elongate its lifespan.
