You make sure your gutters are cleared, water pipes and outdoor taps are lagged and leaves are swept from roads but often, what is out of sight is also out of mind. At this time of year gullies, culverts and drains are susceptible to getting clogged up with leaves, branches and other winter debris but because they are out of sight we tend to forget them until it is too late!
Prevention is better than cure
Working on the principle that a fine summer is often followed by a severe winter, now is a good time to make sure you take some simple measures to make sure you don’t suffer any flooding in the spring because your drainage system has become blocked or damaged over the winter months.
Autumn and winter storms bring heavy rain and strong winds and it is the time of year where you are most likely to find leaves, twigs, branches and other debris blocking your drains. Uncleared blockages can result in back-ups and flooding which can cause serious damage to buildings and land.
How to avoid blocked drains, gullies and culverts.
It’s important to make sure your drains, gullies and culverts are in good condition and free flowing so that there is no risk of standing water.
Our engineers at Drain and Sewer Services are fully trained in unblocking techniques to deal with any size of blockage problem.
We also use modern CCTV technology to locate blockages and the latest jetting units for removing them before they cause a problem.
Our truck mounted suction and jetting units with a capacity of 3,000 gallons and high pressure jets produce pressure up to 3,600 psi to deal with the largest of problems.
