Types of drain covers and Identifying features.

 This is a gully surround usually found outside the kitchen window. This was described in an earlier blog.

 

 

 

 

This the type of manhole you can find in driveways and out in the road. Made in different thicknesses and strengths depending what load is going to be applied to it (i.e is there a car going to be sat on top of it or an aircraft.)

 

 A manhole found in a block drive.

 

When you have a problem with your drainage system please stop and think what is wrong and if there is water overflowing, where is it comming from? Is it from the Kitchen Gully or from a manhole as shown above? Is there access to the offending covers by the side of the house? Can we get a hose from the front of the house to where the problem is or do we have to put them over fences or take them through the property.

Once you have recovered from the shock of having foul water over your drive, stop and think about the above. It will help the company comming out to you to prepare and have an idea of what they are commin up against. Now you can ring a quality company, like Tomasso Limited, and say “Hi, I have water pouring out of a manhole at the back of the property. It is a rectangular cover and there is access to bring hoses down the side of the house. There are no other overflowing manholes at this time.” Wow, now that is going to shock me and my staff and show you have followed this page and helped yourself.
