Gully & Manhole Clearance

About Our Gully & Manhole Clearance Service

Gullies and manholes are easy to overlook until they stop working properly — a blocked road gully or overflowing manhole cover is often the first visible sign of a drainage problem, and it can lead to standing water, unpleasant smells, or water finding its way somewhere it shouldn't. Pinnacle Drains clears blocked gullies, manholes and inspection chambers across Southampton and the surrounding area, for both domestic and commercial properties. Gullies typically block up with leaves, silt, debris and general build-up over time, particularly during periods of heavy rain when surface water run-off carries more material into the system. Manholes and inspection chambers can become blocked further down the line, restricting flow and causing wastewater or surface water to back up. We identify where the blockage sits and clear it using the appropriate method, checking the surrounding drainage run is flowing freely afterwards. Left unaddressed, a blocked gully or manhole can contribute to localised flooding around a property, particularly during heavy rainfall, so keeping them clear is a straightforward way to reduce that risk. Whether it's a single gully outside your property or a manhole serving a larger commercial site, we assess and clear the blockage and can advise on anything else that might be contributing to the problem.
