Project description

Water entering your home isn't something to ignore—it can lead to structural damage, mould, dampness, and ongoing maintenance issues. This project involved designing and installing a comprehensive drainage solution to capture and divert groundwater and surface water away from the property, helping keep the home dry, compliant, and protected for years to come.

Our scope of works included:

Installation of new subsoil drainage systems
Surface water management and collection
New cesspits and stormwater connections
Waterproofing of below-ground structures
Excavation and reinstatement of affected areas
Stormwater upgrades to improve site drainage
Moisture management to help reduce water ingress
Compliance with New Zealand drainage standards and Healthy Homes objectives where applicable

Every property is different, which is why we assess site levels, soil conditions, existing drainage, and water flow before recommending the most effective long-term solution. Our focus isn't just fixing the symptoms—it's identifying and addressing the source of the problem.

Whether you're experiencing damp under your home, pooling water around foundations, recurring flooding, or you've received recommendations from a building inspection report, we can provide practical, cost-effective drainage solutions tailored to your property.
