Blocked Gullies questions

What are the signs of a blocked gully?

Water pooling in yards, driveways or outside the property, slow drainage after rain, or a smell from the gully. Overflow after heavy rain is a common sign.

Can a blocked gully cause flooding?

Yes. A blocked gully can stop surface water draining away, which can lead to pooling or water collecting against buildings. Clearing it promptly reduces that risk.

What if the blockage runs beyond the gully?

We explain what we have found and what clearing it involves before going further.
