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.

What setsthis area apart
Yarmouk is both an old and new residential area with multi-storey apartment blocks and older flats on a main road. Gutters sit in the gaps between buildings and at road edges. When water runs from roofs and passages it carries soil particles, mud and ash, all of which settle in the sump. The grate wipes clean but the sediment below it needs to be sucked out by tanker.
Yarmouk is a residential district in Kuwait City governorate with dense apartment blocks and buildings along main streets.
Yarmouk gutters receive silt from tall building roofs and busy streets, so bottom cleaning is essential on a regular schedule.

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 Yarmouk
The grate deceives. If silt has built up in the sump below, water cannot drain even if the top opening is wide. The bottom of the pot must be opened and emptied by tanker.
Yarmouk is close to the workshop, so we arrive quickly. The time that matters is the cleaning itself, not travel time. We inspect the sump properly and empty it correctly.
