Ramadan Drain CleaningGully unclogging in Ruqai
Gully unclogging in Ruqai starts with a message about slow drainage in a sink or basin, or sometimes complete blockage. Ruqai is a quiet suburban residential street in Farwaniya, mostly semi-detached family villas and older houses, and its gullies fill with sediment fast.
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
Houses in Ruqai are a mix of old and new, with gullies tucked under side passages and sometimes under the front garden. Slow drainage starts after a month or two in a heavily used house. Silt and sediment accumulate more in older suburban areas, and we sometimes lift the cover and remove standing water before we start the rods. The line from the gully runs to the main sewer chamber, so a blocked gully means standing water in the sink and tub.
Ruqai sits in Farwaniya governorate, an older suburban residential area of semi-detached villas and family neighborhoods.
Old Ruqai gully pots run about a meter and a half deep with narrow covers, and their bases collect more silt than modern gullies.

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 Ruqai
Tree roots can enter the pot and block the opening. We inspect with a torch first, and if roots are present, we advise you to remove the tree or trim the roots before unclogging starts.
Yes, if there is standing water in the gully pot itself, we pump it out with the tanker first so the rods go down cleanly. The tanker pulls water and silt out together fast.
