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.
