Ramadan Drain CleaningGully unclogging in Hawalli Midan
Gully unclogging in Hawalli Midan happens when water won't drain from the shop or flat frontage or a smell rises from the shared courtyard. Hawalli Midan is an old district in Hawalli with small shops and flats above them, and gullies sit in the tight passages between buildings and shared courtyards.
Gully signs
When the gully isthe problem.
A gully problem stays local, and these signs separate it from a blockage inside the house.
01
Water stands over the grating
You wash the yard or rain falls, and the water pools over the grating instead of dropping through. Inside the house everything drains as usual, because the gully is a run of its own.
02
Sand and silt under the bars
Lift the grating and look. A layer of sand, silt and paper means the pot has filled above the outlet, and nothing can move until the pot itself is emptied.
03
The smell is outside, not inside
A smell coming from the yard side rather than a bathroom usually means the standing water in the pot has evaporated in the heat, leaving the outlet open to the air.
This area
What setsthis area apart
Gullies in Hawalli Midan are small and very old, and most shops and flats share the same gully or very close ones. The shared courtyard may be so tight there's no room for a tanker, so we rely on rods and a hand pump. The gully pipes sit under old ground and may be cracked or broken, so we work with extreme care and test before applying pressure.
Hawalli Midan sits in Hawalli governorate, an old market district of tightly packed shops and flats.
Hawalli Midan gullies connect directly to old underground lines, and any blockage affects several shops at once.

How it works
Clearing a gully,pot and all.
Four steps, all from above, with nothing broken open.
We lift the grating out
The grating comes out of its frame with a hook, and we take off the paper and leaves sitting on it first, so none of it drops into the pot while we work.
We empty the pot to the base
We take out the standing water, then lift the sand and silt with a bucket and a scraper until the base shows and the outlet mouth in the side wall is visible.
We clear the outlet run
The outlet leaves the side of the pot above the water line. A rod goes in there and turns clockwise until it runs, because the branch beyond it usually holds the same deposit.
We refill the seal and test
We refill the pot with clean water so the seal is back, then pour a bucket over the grating and watch it drop away before the grating goes back in.
Common questions
Questions about Gully unclogging in Hawalli Midan
We work with rods and a hand pump directly from the shop or flat. If we need to access underground pipes we ask you to clear the space or we use a small portable motor we can manoeuvre by hand.
Only carefully and at low pressure. We test the first sections before raising pressure, and if they're cracked we clean by hand or with a gentle pump.
