EQC Drainage Repair and Claim Assistance

Earthquakes can cause hidden damage to ceramic or earthenware drains. While this damage may take years to surface, when it does, it can lead to serious and messy issues. The good news is that the repair costs for damages caused by the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence are typically covered by EQC, so you won’t have to pay a dime.

At Smart Contracting, we can quickly assess the damage with a professional camera inspection of your drains. Just call us at 0277 276 278, and we’ll determine the extent of the damage caused by the earthquake.

Once we've completed the inspection, we'll help you with the necessary paperwork to ensure EQC covers all the restoration fees. Even if you have an existing claim, it will still cover the repairs. Get in touch with us today to see how we can help with your Canterbury earthquake drainage claims!

Our Repair Process

 At Smart Contracting, we’re committed to delivering a seamless repair experience for our clients. Here’s how our earthquake damage repairs work:

  • Step 1: Appraisal

    We’ll assess the damage to your drainage system. No need to move out unless in special circumstances, such as safety concerns.

  • Step 2: Submission

    Once the appraisal is complete, we’ll forward all the necessary information to both you (the client) and EQC for approval.

  • Step 3: Repairs

    Once approved, we’ll complete the repairs. Since EQC covers the cost, you won’t have to pay for anything.
