Sorting out your drainage: Enviroflo
Buying a new home can sometimes feel like buying a ticket in a lottery. You can see the surfaces of the house, yet what is going on underneath?
How are the services, how are the foundations, is the frame strongly built? If you are buying in Canterbury, these types of questions increase exponentially. The face the house presents to the world might be rather fabulous, however we know cosmetics can do a lot.
Behind every beautiful plaster and paint job and exquisite home staging lurks the great unknown. How did the home fare in the earthquakes, and were the repairs done thoroughly? Am I buying myself the residential equivalent of Fiona from Shrek? 
One element of the functioning of a new home can be ticked off your list of worries quickly and easily. Enviroflo are the experts when it comes to every aspect of drainage. The team covers all across the Canterbury region, and being locally owned, there isn’t much they haven’t tackled in earthquake affected drains. “Our qualified staff have over 100 years’ experience in the drainage industry and extensive knowledge of the Natural Hazards Commision (NHC) (formerly EQC) claims process and earthquake related drainage issues and repairs,” says co-owner Hayden Greig.
Handling everything from initial booking of a free camera check and survey, through to completed repairs with the above ground landscaping and hard surfaces included. “For NHC work, we offer a five-stage process,” says Hayden. “We start with a free camera check and assessment, we then submit our report and quote to NHC. When the claim is approved by NHC for repairs, we complete the drainage work. The final step is signoff from the happy home owner.”
The coming months are great for getting your drains sorted. “When we are getting less rainfall and the ground is drier, we can accomplish what is needed much faster and with less mess,” says Hayden. The team are experts when it comes to the added complications of tenanted properties. “We do plenty of work for landlords and property investors,” says Hayden. “Often rental properties are made up of older housing stock and the drains have not been investigated for years, if ever. We understand it can be complex to work with the needs of both tenants and property owners, so flexibility and communication are central to the way we approach these projects.”
In the great sweepstake of property, stack the odds in your favour by putting Enviroflo in charge of all things drainage.
