gully drain repair

Domestic drainage gullies can be used to drain surface water, water from your guttering and grey wastewater from your kitchen sink, washing machine or shower into the appropriate drain. Typically they are comprised of a grate to stop debris entering the drain and a trap for the water.

Drain gullies can become blocked by debris such as twigs, leaves or stones that enter the drain. Gullies can also become blocked by a build up of fatty deposits and food that have entered the drainage system via the kitchen sink.

Regular maintenance to your drainage gullies can prevent the need for gully repairs. Checking your gullies regularly and clearing debris (especially before a rainy season) can keep a smooth flow of water into the main sewer line. Clearing the debris regularly is often enough to maintain your gullies.

If you notice back flow or flooding of surface or wastewater from your gully, and you haven’t been able to remove the blockage by hand or by using drain rods, then contact Central Drains to arrange a visit from one of our drainage specialists.

Also known as a Bottle Gully, a Compact Gully or a Universal Gully. ‘Access Gully’, if they permit rods to be inserted into the drain. Most gullies of this type are trapped, often by means of a baffle plate that is removable in some models.

This is a simple arrangement more commonly used with rainwater pick-ups (downspouts) than for draining large areas of paving.

This set-up is not trapped and is therefore only suitable for connection to a surface water system, not to a foul or combined system.

Again, this uses a rest bend with an adapter coupling used to connect the downspout directly to the sub-surface system.
