Structural Drying Christchurch
Drying that keeps your Christchurch build on programme.
Our drying division services Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region. We accelerate the drying of new-build concrete slabs, dry out wet trades before lining, provide BRANZ-aligned framing moisture verification accepted by CCC and SDC, and handle water-damage restoration on active sites. Most of our work is for repeat trade clients on a programme — booked into your build sequence, not bolted on at the end.
$1,800
Most new-build drying programmes $1,800 – $6,500 + GST

Drying FAQs
Drying questions, answered
Do you only work with Christchurch builders?
Our main client base is Christchurch builders, but we also help homeowners directly — particularly when they're managing their own renovation or dealing with a leak before a builder is on site.
How fast can you mobilise on a Christchurch site?
Same-day for emergencies, next-business-day for scheduled jobs across Christchurch, Selwyn and Waimakariri. Trade clients get priority dispatch.
Do your reports satisfy Christchurch City Council?
Yes — our NZBC E2/AS1 moisture verification reports are accepted by Christchurch City Council, Selwyn District Council and Waimakariri District Council inspectors.
Typical cost for a Christchurch new build?
Most domestic new-build drying programmes sit between $1,800 and $6,500 + GST. We quote fixed before mobilising.
