Gullies
Ramadan Drain CleaningGully unclogging in Zahraa
Gully unclogging in Zahraa usually happens because grease and silt build up in the pot under the kitchen floor gully. Zahraa is a relatively older residential area in Hawalli, mid-rise apartment blocks with older gullies cast into concrete.
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
Zahraa has apartment blocks from the 1960s through 1980s, and the gullies are cast directly into concrete floors, no separate gratings. The pot under each gully is deep and narrow, so kitchen grease builds up faster than in newer buildings with larger gratings. We use thin rods because the opening is tight, and may need to suction water before we start if the pot is full. Old gullies now need more care than new ones.
Zahraa sits in Hawalli governorate, an older residential area with apartment blocks from past decades and gullies cast into the floor.
Old Zahraa gullies cast in concrete have narrow openings, so we use thinner rods 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 Zahraa
Yes, the opening is narrower and the pot is deeper so grease builds up more. We use thinner rods and need more time, but we clear it the same way.
Old concrete is weaker than new, but we work carefully. We move the rods gently and do not press against the pot walls.
