From the outside, this rental property appeared well maintained, with no visible signs of concern.

A drain camera inspection, however, identified underlying damage linked to past earthquake movement. Ageing ceramic pipes had shifted and cracked over time, creating a potential issue that had not yet surfaced.

An existing EQC (now Natural Hazards Commission) claim was still in place. We supported the owner throughout the process, gained approval, and completed the repairs without incurring additional costs.

The drainage system has now been restored and the property made secure.

Not all earthquake-related damage is immediately visible. Regular drain inspections can help identify hidden issues early.

Enviroflo provides complimentary drain checks for those seeking peace of mind.

Hidden Earthquake Damage Below Ground

Enviroflo NZ

You couldn’t see it from the surface.

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.

Wondering what the earthquakes left behind under your place?
