Right now, before we arrive
Four things that protect your home and your insurance claim in Auckland.
- Stop the source if you safely can (supply valve, appliance shut-off)
- Kill power to affected rooms at the breaker — never stand in water near outlets
- Photograph everything before you move it — your claim depends on it
- Don't run household fans on sewage or gray water — it spreads contamination

Clean, gray, or black: the water category decides everything
IICRC S500 classifies every loss by contamination level — category drives what can be saved, the drying plan, and the claim.
| Category | Typical source | What it means for your home |
|---|---|---|
| Category 1 — clean water | Supply lines, faucets, rainwater | Fast extraction; most materials dry in place |
| Category 2 — gray water | Washing machines, dishwashers, tub overflow | Extraction plus antimicrobial treatment; some removal |
| Category 3 — black water | Sewage backup, rising floodwater | Containment, porous materials removed, full sanitation |
Work performed to the IICRC S500 Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration.

Will insurance cover it?
The three answers that matter for water damage claims in NZ.
Usually covered
Sudden, accidental events — burst pipes, appliance failures, fire and smoke damage, and mould caused directly by a covered water event.
Usually excluded
Gradual leaks, deferred maintenance, and rising floodwater — check your policy; EQC/Natural Hazards Commission + private insurer.
Where claims are won
Documentation. Photo logs, moisture readings, and itemized scopes decide whether you're made whole — we build that file from the first visit.
Built for Auckland
Auckland hasn't forgotten the 2023 Anniversary floods, and the city's leaky-home era housing stock means water that gets behind cladding can sit unnoticed for weeks before it surfaces as a bigger claim.
We serve Auckland and the surrounding communities of Henderson, Mt Roskill, Manukau, North Shore, New Lynn and Papakura.
Common questions
InsuranceDoes homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Sudden and accidental water damage — a burst pipe, an appliance failure — is typically covered. Gradual leaks and outside flooding usually are not; flooding needs separate coverage. We document everything so your claim has the best footing.
TimelineHow fast do you need to dry a home?
Mould can begin establishing within 24–72 hours of a water event. The faster extraction and drying start, the more of your home we save — and the smaller the claim.
ProcessDo I need to move out?
Usually not. Most residential dry-outs run 3–5 days with equipment in place. We isolate work areas so the rest of the house stays livable.
CostWhat does an inspection cost?
The initial inspection and moisture assessment is free. You get a clear scope and estimate before any work begins.
