What Is Road Gully Cleaning?

Road gullies are located beneath the metal grates at the edge of roads, which are an important part of the drainage system. Road gullies collect and channel surface water away from roads and pavements, preventing standing water, flooding and water damage to the road. 

Without regular gully cleaning, blockages in the underground pipes can occur from debris such as mud, leaves, and litter. These blockages can lead to issues such as flooded roads, unpleasant odours, and damage to surrounding infrastructure. Neglecting road gully cleaning can cause costly and dangerous highway flooding incidents.

How Do We Clean Road Gullies?

We start the process by thoroughly inspecting the condition of the road gully to identify any blockages or build-up of debris that could be affecting the flow of water. We then clear any blockages such as leaves, dirt, or other debris using advanced equipment. If there are stubborn blockages, we use high-pressure water jetting to help loosen and remove these when required. Once the gully is cleared, we then flush the system to make sure any residue left is removed so water can flow freely with no issue. This will prevent issues such as flooding and standing water.

This can cause floods, standing water and unpleasant odours, so ensuring blockages get removed as soon as possible is important. Blockages or poorly maintained gullies can escalate into more significant problems, such as posing a risk to road safety or even damaging the road.
