Silted gullies stop accepting water - then everything floods

Once a gully pot or interceptor is half-full of silt, leaves, moss and grit, it cannot accept water at the rate the surface drainage delivers it in a storm. The overflow finds its way across pavements, into car parks, down side returns and into anywhere it should not be going. Annual or twice-yearly silt removal keeps the surface drainage system working as designed.

Call2Drain runs jet-vac tanker units that combine high-pressure jetting with high-capacity vacuum suction. The jet breaks up compacted silt, the vacuum lifts it out of the gully or chamber in one pass, and the waste is disposed of at a licensed facility under our waste-carrier registration.

Commercial sites, managing agents, schools and councils typically run scheduled silt-removal contracts on an annual or quarterly cycle. We provide the schedule, the route plan and the documentation - including waste transfer notes - so compliance is easy.

A silted gully cannot take water when the storm arrives

Once a gully pot or interceptor is half-full of silt, leaves, moss and grit, it can no longer accept water at the rate a downpour delivers it — and the overflow finds its way across pavements, into car parks and anywhere it should not be. Planned silt removal keeps a Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Essex & London surface-water system working as it was designed to.

Our jet-vac tankers combine high-pressure jetting with high-capacity vacuum suction: the jet breaks up the compacted silt and the vacuum lifts it out in a single pass. Every load is disposed of at a licensed facility, with a waste transfer note issued for the volume removed.

  • Jet-vac tanker combinations for gully pots and chambers
  • Annual, quarterly or one-off visits
  • Licensed disposal with documented transfer notes
  • Route plans for multi-site commercial contracts
