Celebrate Community - March 1st to 31st 🎂
This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn’t the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it’s the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.
A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 20 - 30th March. This year’s theme is ‘The Great Plant Swap’ - as an easy way for our neighbourhoods to grow stronger together. If you’re hosting an event, make sure to register it on their website: neighboursday.org.nz/join-in
Show us how you’re celebrating community this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
Hidden Earthquake Damage Below Ground
You couldn’t see it from the surface.
Tidy garden. Solid paths. Happy tenant.
But beneath one well-kept rental lay the aftershocks of past earthquakes.
A routine drain camera inspection uncovered what years of seismic movement had quietly caused: old ceramic pipes shifted out of line, cracked, and slowly failing. No immediate mess but classic earthquake hangover damage waiting to surface.
The silver lining? An old EQC claim (now Natural Hazards Commission) was still active. We helped the owner navigate the process, secured approval, and completed the earthquake-related repairs without unexpected costs.
Earthquake damage repaired. Pipes realigned. Property protected.
Neighbourly reminder: Earthquake damage doesn’t always announce itself. Many issues stay hidden underground until they become expensive emergencies. A simple drain check can uncover lingering quake effects before they escalate.
