When a spill happens, response time and compliance both matter. Here's what sets our spill clean-up services apart:
Over time, gully pits can become clogged with sediment, leaves, debris, and pollutants. Blocked stormwater drains can cause serious problems, including flooding, water damage to buildings and foundations, mould growth, pest infestations, and health hazards. Also, untreated runoff can carry pollutants into local water bodies, adversely affecting water quality and ecosystem health.
Professional pit cleaning services employ various methods and equipment to effectively remove built-up waste from gully pits. At Hydra-Wash, we also utilise hydro vacuum excavation units, high-pressure jetting equipment and water recycling units equipped with jetting heads, root cutting blades, and descaling heads to clean drains, pits, and pipes.
Regular maintenance and inspection of stormwater pits are crucial to prevent blockages and ensure the longevity of the drainage system. It is recommended to clean or at least inspect stormwater pits about two times a year, typically in the spring and autumn before winter sets in. Periodical inspections help identify potential issues early, reducing the likelihood of flooding and environmental contamination.
The use and importance of gully pits, include:
We recommend inspecting or cleaning stormwater pits at least twice a year — typically spring and autumn — though high-debris sites near trees or construction may need more frequent attention.
Vacuum trucks and high-pressure jetting equipment, plus hydro vacuum excavation units and water recycling units with jetting heads, root-cutting blades and descaling heads for drains, pits and pipes.
Grated side entry pits, road field gullies and concrete stormwater pits — across council, industrial and commercial sites.
Sediment, leaves and debris build up, reducing drainage efficiency and increasing the risk of flooding, water damage, mould growth and pest infestations, along with pollutants reaching local waterways.
