Blocked gully outside my home
Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1271932-Z1G3R4.
The gully has been overflowing for over a month seems it was “drained” earlier this week but this was a superficial job as it’s flooded once again within a day, their needs to be an investigation into where the blockage is or if it’s a more serious issue.
Our home drains are being affected both in the bathroom and sinks, their seem to be a backlog in the gully which is leading to our bathroom and sinks to emit a putrid smell, we are worried if this continues any further the blockage will cause permanent damage to our home.
It’s effect stretches over four homes. We can’t walk on the pavement at times. because the contaminated water overflows on to it.
This has been an ongoing issue for over a year or so and has caused damage on the pathway in front of our home which would also need to be repaired.
