Structural drying in Kaiapoi
Waimakariri — new subdivisions alongside repaired earthquake stock, two very different jobs.
Kaiapoi splits neatly in two. There are new subdivisions on the edges where the work is standard slab and plaster drying for builders, and there is older stock through the town that went through significant earthquake repair, where moisture is more often a legacy drainage or subfloor issue.
Knowing which one you have changes the approach entirely, so we ask about the build history before quoting. We run Kaiapoi, Rangiora and Woodend on the same trip north, which keeps travel out of the price for Waimakariri clients.

FAQ
Kaiapoi FAQs
Do you charge travel to Waimakariri?
No. Kaiapoi, Rangiora and Woodend run on the same trip north, so the travel is shared across the day.
Our house was repaired after the quakes and still gets damp — why?
Usually drainage or subfloor rather than anything structural. Reinstated drainage after repair work was not always completed to the standard the original had, and the symptom shows up years later as persistent floor-level damp.
Is the work here mostly new builds or repairs?
Both, and they are different jobs. The subdivisions on the edges are standard slab and plaster drying; the older stock through town is more often a legacy moisture problem. We ask about build history before quoting so the right one gets scoped.
