Clearing Blocked Drains Newcastle

As a homeowner or business owner in South Tyneside, you might have heard the term 'gully' in relation to drainage, but do you know what it actually means? A gully is a crucial component of your drainage system, and understanding its function can help you prevent costly repairs and maintain a healthy, functioning drainage system.

A gully is essentially a trap that connects your property's drainage system to the main sewer or storm drain. Its primary function is to catch and filter out debris, such as leaves, twigs, and other waste, that could potentially clog your drains. Gullies are usually located near the entrance of your property, and they play a vital role in preventing blockages and ensuring the smooth flow of water through your drainage system.

A gully works by allowing water to flow into it from your property's drainage system, while trapping debris and waste. The gully is designed with a curved or 'P' shape, which allows water to flow freely while preventing debris from entering the main sewer or storm drain. This curved shape also helps to reduce the risk of blockages and overflows, which can cause significant damage to your property.

While gullies are designed to prevent blockages, they can still become clogged over time. Leaves, twigs, and other debris can accumulate in the gully, causing water to back up and overflow. If you notice water pooling around your gully or a foul smell emanating from it, it may be a sign that your gully needs to be cleared or cleaned.
