    Gully Cleaning Essex – A Handy Guide

    What is a Gully?

    Gullies are drain grates, that you’ll usually see in the gutters on the side of the road. They’ll take away all the rainwater from the road and into the drainage system underground. Gullies may also be known as ‘interceptors’. They’re usually found on roads and highways, in car parks and airports and also as a drainage tool in any areas where excess water can build up. They can often get clogged with fallen leaves, litter and grit. It’s important to make sure that this is removed to prevent any flooding.

    What is Gully Cleaning?

    When a gully becomes full, it’ll need to be cleaned and maintained, so that the interceptor can work as intended. Here at Elliott Drainage, we use a gully sucking truck, which is more commonly known as a Gully Emptier. This is a tailored and specialised type of truck, which has a suction gear, to suck the debris, wastewater and mud that’s causing the blockage. Failing to have a gully checked and serviced can potentially cause a variety of problems, especially to a commercial environment, where it could halt up the production of certain products and goods.

    Once we have cleaned the gully thoroughly, and all the debris has been removed, we will be able to jet wash it down. This jet washing will ensure that any debris left behind will pass through and out the gully.

    Why is Gully Cleaning Needed?

    It’s important to regularly have your gully cleaned out to ensure that it keeps on working correctly and won’t cause any problems in the future. We understand that gullies are designed to prevent any large amounts of debris from passing through, though sometimes this fails. Gully cleaning will remove these and help to maintain the overall lifespan of the gully and prevent any future floods from happening.

    Failing to keep a gully clean and clear, could lead to waste being held in the gully and then overflowing into the watercourse or local authority drains, which could possibly lead to huge fines, prosecution and costly clean-up costs.
