Surface water is normally drained off roads by gullies and grips. Gully tanker at work 2 operatives men at work.
A road gully system is designed to facilitate the flow of flood and rain water away from road surfaces ensuring the safety of all road users. Torrential rain and unexpected downpours can quickly overwhelm these systems, especially if they are blocked. Our gully cleaning service ensures that your gully system remains free of any debris that could cause hazardous blockages, and a fleet of jet and vacuum tankers means we are able to quickly and effectively remove any troublesome blockages. In addition to posing a severe hazard to drivers and other road users, undrained surface water could cause structural damage to property. The provision of planned regular gully emptying and inspection, should help to prevent blockages. It is better to discourage tree growth on or near the line of drains and sewers but there need not necessarily be any cause for alarm, in practice, the risks are small. In any case, it is not always possible to control activity in remote third-party land. As far as the law is concerned trees cannot be implicated. In a properly constructed and sound drainage system tree roots should not be able to get in. For tree roots to penetrate a drainage system there would have to be a defect.
