In the simplest terms, a gully is an outside drain that deals with excess water run-off, preventing pooling and waterlogging. In domestic settings they are typically found in front and back gardens, and can be configured to handle wastewater from washing machines, sinks and similar kitchen and bathroom fixtures, in addition to rainwater. In commercial or public settings they’re often found by roads, allowing for excess water to drain away from the highway.
Over time, gullies can accumulate dirt, waste and pollutants which threaten their efficiency. This is why Northants Waste Control provides gully cleaning services to domestic and commercial clients around Northampton, Milton Keynes and all locales within Bedfordshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire.
While gully cleaning can be carried out on a D.I.Y level, if it’s been a while since the last clear out then the waste that requires removal can be very stubborn and ingrained. We have the equipment to deal with these situations, for example – via high pressure jetting. The process can also be a fairly unglamorous one, which poses health hazards that need to be addressed through the use of proper protective equipment and the right tools.
Whether you run a business in Northampton, our hometown, or are a homeowner living in Bedfordshire, Leicestershire or elsewhere in Northamptonshire, our gully cleaning can be regularly scheduled in or provided on a spontaneous basis as and when required, ensuring you can efficiently manage liquid waste and rainfall on your property. Failing to invest in gully cleaning as and when required can lead to waste backing-up, which makes for nasty odours, blockages, troublesome puddles and a major risk to flora and fauna in your garden.
