Ramadan Drain CleaningGully unclogging in Jabriya
Gully unclogging in Jabriya begins with a call about water not draining from floors or courtyard tiles. Jabriya is a mixed residential district in Hawalli with older flats and modern apartment blocks near the co-operative and American University, and flat gullies are smaller than villa ones.
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
Old flats and blocks in Jabriya have small gullies in bathrooms, kitchens and floor drains, each connected directly to a single drainage stack serving that flat. Newer blocks have slightly larger standard gullies and faster drainage due to updated pipes. Silt, hair and grease accumulate quickly in small gully pots, so flats need more frequent cleaning than villas.
Jabriya sits in Hawalli governorate and is a mixed residential district of old and new flats and apartment blocks.
Flat gullies in Jabriya are small and clog quickly, and complaints of water backing up from bathrooms are common in older blocks.

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 Jabriya
Each flat's gullies connect to a single drainage stack that is not shared with another flat, so if one gully clogs, it can affect drainage elsewhere in the flat. We open each gully and check the bottom before we pull the rods out.
Small gully openings need finer rods and more care to avoid scratching pipes. Hair and grease stick quickly in tight spaces, so we must fully extract the pot contents.
