Blocked gullies in the road can prevent the drainage of excess rainwater and groundwater which in turn can lead to flooding and damage to the carriageway, especially during periods of freezing weather.

Gullies fill up with leaves, rubbish and road grit and need to cleared on a regular basis. Left alone for too long the gullies cannot be cleared by a visit from a gully cleaner alone, they will need a crew to dig out the accumulated debris.

DSS uses specialised equipment to clear blocked gullies and get waste water flowing again.

We provide a round the year support service; emptying gullies and keeping the water flowing.

We have software systems that allow us to overlay gully positions onto maps, record the action taken, along with any remedial actions required on our cloud based software. We share this information with our clients allowing them to see where they are and what we have done.

We take the debris removed from the gullies to specialist reclamation companies who wash the road grit for reuse as well as turning the organic matter into compost. Regular maintenance is the key although we also offer a reactive service. 

DSS continues to work closely with local authorities to carry out rolling maintenance programmes across the country.
