gully

A gully is a landform created by running water, mass movement, or commonly a combination of both eroding sharply into soil or other relatively erodible material, typically on a hillside or in river floodplains or terraces. Gullies resemble large ditches or small valleys, but are metres to tens of metres in depth and width and are characterised by a distinct 'headscarp' or 'headwall' and progress by headward (i.e. upstream) erosion. Gullies are commonly related to intermittent or ephemeral water flow usually associated with localised intense or protracted rainfall events, or snowmelt. Gullies can be formed and accelerated by cultivation practices on hillslopes (often gentle gradient) in farmland, and they can develop rapidly in rangelands from existing natural erosion forms subject to vegetative cover removal and livestock activity.

    Outside trapped gully frothing over with soap

    Is there likely a blockage in the outside trapped gully if it occasionally frothes up with soap. The external trapped gully at floor level just takes a 32mm pipe from a wash hand basin. Thanks.

    Can I terminate a rainwater down pipe into a waste water gully outside the kitchen?

    Hi Just came across a customer whom had an extension built many years ago but It seems as though the builder forgot to allow for rainwater to be terminated. He's run a rain water pipe all the way from the back of the single storey extension, along the side and to the front of the house. This...

    How to check if air tight trapped sealed gully was installed as designed?

    I have a Zip water heater installed in a cupboard under the kitchen island. There is not normally any discharge into the Zip "font" in the worktop other than maybe a small amount of near-boiling water. The Zip guy accused us of chucking dregs down there, which I categorically deny. There is a...

    Poor quality pipe work leading to gully

    A few days ago I posted a thread about a broken rainwater gully ( which I thought was called a hopper). I enclose a link to photos of the pipework draining into this. Is it me, or is this substandard work? If you have two downpipes for rainwater, wouldn't you drain one into the other in order to...

    Soil Stack Connection Collapsing at Offset Gully

    Hi Guys, The next job on my list is sorting out this mess, where the soil stack meets gully: From above, you can just about see that the (clay) gully is tight up against the wall, so is offset from the soil pipe centreline - which probably hasn't helped: The connection has been made via...

    Long run of 40mm Washing machine waste pipe to external gully

    Hi I know the maximum run of 40mm waste pipe is usually 3m, however on a washing machine waste pipe running to an external gully with an open ended trap (stand pipe/hockey stick) I really can't see the problem in running it the 6m I need to, ideally there should be ground works and a new...

    Building extension over kitchen gully trap

    We're building a near-full-width rear extension to our mid-terrace house, which will extend over the existing kitchen gully trap position. We're leaving the kitchen sink where it is, so we'll still need the drainage, but it's a kitchen island so no route to the external wall. See attached image...
