Gullies
Ramadan Drain CleaningGully unclogging in Rai
Sullies in Rai block heavily from grease. Fatty foods, mayonnaise and cooking oil accumulate into a layer in the pot below. Rai has food shops, cafes and small restaurants, so the load on a single gully is far heavier than in a residential neighbourhood.
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
Rai is a mixed commercial and residential zone near The Avenues Mall and IKEA, with apartment blocks and shops and cafes on the same floors. Each food establishment has its own gully, and grease pools there faster than in any other residential area. We start by cleaning the grate and pot with short rods, then switch to the electric snake if blockage runs deep in the pipes.
Rai is a commercial and residential zone in Kuwait governorate, near The Avenues Mall and major shopping outlets.
Sullies belonging to shops and eateries in Rai need cleaning more often than residential house ones because of grease volume.

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 Rai
It depends on use, but most Rai restaurants get theirs cleaned weekly or fortnightly. If you skip it, grease solidifies and blocks both the pot and the pipes.
The grate on top may look clean but silt and grease build underneath it in the pot. Water drains slow because the lower outlet is clogged. We empty the pot and remove all the buildup from below.
