Gully DRAINAGE Maintenance
Yard Drains, Highways & Rainwater Downpipe Gullies
Specialist Gully Maintenance Solutions for Domestic & Commercial Sites
Gullies are a crucial component of any drainage system. These ground-level drainage points are designed to channel wastewater or surface water typically from roadside or domestic settings, into the underground drainage network. When gullies become damaged, blocked, or collapsed, they can lead to surface flooding, water ingress, foul odours, and even structural damage.
At J & S Jetting, we have decades of experience and a team of qualified drainage engineers providing fast, reliable, and cost-effective solutions tailored to every environment, from residential properties to major highway or infrastructure locations.
How Gully Drainage Works:
- Collection: Gullies are strategically placed to collect surface water or wastewater from specific areas.
- Filtration: They often include a grate or filter to prevent large debris from entering the drainage system.
- Discharge:
The collected water and debris are then discharged into the drainage system through the gully's outlet.
Why GULLY MaINTENANCE IS ESSENTIAL
- Flooding: Water unable to drain causes pooling and surface damage.
- Health & Safety Hazards: Slippery surfaces increase accident risks.
- Structural Damage: Persistent water exposure can erode foundations.
- Environmental Issues: Contaminated runoff may breach regulatory standards and release unsavoury odours.

What is Gully Drainage?
- A gully is a drainage fitting with an open top, a base, and an outlet.
- It can be used to connect wastewater outlets (like from sinks or washing machines) or rainwater outlets to the main drainage system.
- Gullies are also used to collect surface water runoff from areas prone to flooding.
- They act as a barrier, trapping debris and preventing it from entering the main sewer system.
Types of Gully Drainage?
- Road gullies: These are typically found on roadsides and collect rainwater runoff.
- Domestic gullies: These are used in residential settings to collect wastewater from various sources like sinks, showers, and washing machines, as well as rainwater from downspouts.
