Structural drying in Avonside
Post-earthquake repair stock on TC3 land, where moisture is usually a symptom of something structural.
Avonside carries a legacy no other part of Christchurch does. Much of the remaining housing sits on TC3 land, has been through repair or relevelling, and moisture problems here are frequently downstream of a floor that has moved, a subfloor that no longer drains, or drainage that was never fully reinstated.
That changes what we do. Drying a floor without identifying why it is wet just moves the problem out a few months. On repair work we survey first, take readings across the affected area rather than a single spot, and tell you if the cause looks structural or drainage-related — even when that means the answer is a builder or a drainlayer rather than us.

FAQ
Avonside FAQs
Our floor is still damp after a relevel — is that a drying job?
Sometimes, but frequently not. On TC3 land a persistently damp floor is more often drainage that was never fully reinstated or a subfloor that no longer ventilates. We survey before quoting, and if the cause is structural or drainage we will tell you that even though it means the work is a builder's or a drainlayer's, not ours.
Do you provide reports for insurers or engineers?
Yes. On repair work we take readings across the whole affected area rather than a single spot, and document them in a form an engineer or assessor can use.
Is moisture in this area always earthquake-related?
No, and assuming it is can send you down the wrong path. Plenty of it is ordinary — a failed shower tray or a blocked downpipe. The survey is what separates the two.
