Category 3: Black Water

Sewage, storm surge, river flooding. Heavily contaminated. Affected porous materials must be removed and disposed. Requires specialist biohazard protocols.

Water Damage Sources We Handle

  • Burst and leaking pipes β€” internal plumbing failures
  • Roof leaks β€” damaged roofing, flashing or gutters
  • Storm and rainwater ingress β€” weather events
  • Appliance failures β€” washing machines, dishwashers, hot water cylinders
  • Hot water cylinder leaks β€” gradual or sudden failure
  • Sprinkler system discharge β€” commercial fire suppression
  • Overflowing baths, sinks and toilets
  • Leaking shower trays and waterproofing failures

Hidden Water Damage

Water travels through building structures β€” much of the damage is hidden:

  • Water wicks up walls through capillary action β€” moisture reading required
  • Subfloor moisture causes timber rot and mould
  • Wall cavity moisture can persist for weeks without detection
  • Ceiling cavities trap water from roof leaks
  • Insulation loses effectiveness when wet and may need replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you detect hidden moisture? +

We use thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters and hygrometers to detect moisture in wall cavities, subfloors and ceilings. All readings are documented for your insurer.

How long does water damage restoration take? +

Minor water damage: 2-3 days drying. Moderate: 3-5 days. Extensive: 1-3 weeks including reinstatement. Drying time depends on materials, extent and ventilation.

Will my insurance cover water damage? +

Most NZ insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage. Gradual leaks may not be covered. We work directly with your insurer and provide all required documentation.
