24/7 Auckland flood response for stormwater, burst pipes, flooded carpet and wet walls. We extract water, monitor structural drying and provide insurance-ready documentation.
If your Auckland home has flooded, call iDry on 0800 452 199 immediately — we are on-site within 60 minutes, 24/7.
When flooding Auckland homes or businesses, every minute counts. Our emergency team is on call 24/7 and can be on-site within 60 minutes to start extracting water and limiting damage.
Floodwater from storms, rainfall, surface water or burst pipes spreads quickly through timber framing, subfloors, insulation and wall cavities. The faster it is extracted, the lower the risk of structural damage and mould growth.
Water weakens timber framing, warps flooring, and degrades plasterboard. The longer it sits, the more costly the repairs.
Auckland's humid climate accelerates mould colonisation. Spores become active within 24 hours, creating health risks for your family.
What starts as a drying job can escalate into a full rebuild if water isn't extracted quickly. Fast action saves thousands.
Auckland's leading water damage repair and flood restoration team. From the first 24/7 emergency call to water extraction, drying, sanitising and final sign-off, iDry handles the full storm and flood restoration process — including comprehensive water damage restoration services for homes and commercial properties.
Industrial pumps and truck-mounted extractors remove stormwater, rainwater and burst-pipe flooding fast, limiting damage to structure and contents.
Commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers handle emergency carpet drying, timber framing, concrete, and wall cavities. We monitor moisture levels daily until all targets are met.
Advanced diagnostics identify hidden moisture behind walls and under floors that visual inspection would miss.
Antimicrobial treatments kill bacteria and prevent mould colonisation in Auckland's humid conditions.
We replace damaged flooring, plasterboard, insulation, and fittings back to pre-loss condition.
Where existing timber floors are beyond repair, our partners at FlooringPro can supply and install new hardwood, vinyl, or carpet flooring as part of the complete restoration.
Full documentation, scope of works, moisture reports, and insurer communication handled for you.
Our team brings extraction, air movement and dehumidification equipment to dry the affected area properly — not just remove the visible water.
Our project records show how extraction, equipment deployment, daily moisture monitoring and insurance-ready handover work in practice.
A burst hot-water pipe affected basement offices. iDry responded the same evening, used commercial extraction, blowers and dehumidifiers, monitored moisture daily and returned the offices to operational use.
View the Park Hyatt case study →Contaminated stormwater affected a large retail showroom. The record documents extraction, material removal, disinfection, structural access, daily moisture readings and a final insurer-ready handover report.
View the Home Ideas case study →An after-hours response covered four affected levels of a critical facility. Independent drying plans, structural interventions and daily equipment adjustments were used until acceptable moisture levels were reached.
View the NZ Blood Service case study →We assess where the water came from, what materials it contacted and how long it has been present before deciding what can be dried, cleaned or safely removed.
Burst supply pipes and sanitary water sources may allow carpet and materials to be saved when extraction starts quickly. Water can deteriorate if treatment is delayed.
Appliance discharge and other potentially contaminated sources require controlled extraction, cleaning, sanitising and material-by-material assessment.
Sewage, surface water and stormwater carrying mud or debris require specialist controls. Porous materials may need removal and disposal rather than drying in place.
Visible water removal is only the first step. Drying continues with readings, equipment adjustments and a documented handover.

Auckland's flood story is written by its geography: an isthmus city squeezed between two harbours, built over dozens of buried streams and volcanic basins that all want their water back when the rain gets serious. The January 2023 Anniversary floods dumped a summer's worth of rain in hours and put suburbs from Rānui to Remuera underwater at the same time.
That night reshaped how we run our response. iDry now spreads crews and drying stock so that a region-wide event doesn't leave any one catchment waiting — West Auckland's Whau and Opanuku valleys, the North Shore's Wairau basin, the central isthmus overflow paths and South Auckland's tidal lowlands each have a dedicated playbook.
We dispatch from West Auckland and typically reach central suburbs in 20–30 minutes and the outer edges of the region — Pukekohe, Bombay, Clarks Beach — inside 45. During region-wide storms we triage by severity, with sewage-contaminated and occupied homes first.
The highest-risk areas track the old stream valleys and coastal lowlands: Rānui, Henderson and New Lynn in the west; the Wairau Creek basin around Milford and Sunnynook on the Shore; the Te Auaunga/Oakley corridor through Mt Albert and Mt Roskill; and the tidal flats around Māngere, Favona and Ōtāhuhu in the south. But 2023 proved almost any Auckland street over a buried watercourse can flood.
Flood restoration costs vary depending on the extent of damage, property size, and materials affected. Most flood restoration in Auckland is covered by home and contents insurance. iDry works directly with your insurer to manage the claims process and documentation, so you pay minimal out-of-pocket costs.
iDry provides moisture reports, progress photos, equipment information and scope notes to support the customer and insurer. Coverage, authorisation and settlement remain subject to the policy and insurer.
Our flood restoration process includes emergency water extraction using industrial pumps, moisture mapping with thermal imaging, structural drying using commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers, sanitisation and antimicrobial treatment to prevent mould, and reinstatement of damaged materials including flooring, walls, and insulation.
The drying phase typically takes 3–5 days depending on severity and materials affected. Full restoration including reinstatement of flooring, walls, and damaged materials can take 1–4 weeks. iDry monitors moisture levels daily and provides regular progress updates throughout the process.
iDry provides flood restoration services across all of Auckland including Henderson, Te Atatu, New Lynn, Mt Albert, Grey Lynn, Ponsonby, Parnell, Newmarket, Remuera, Epsom, Mt Eden, Manukau, Papakura, Takanini, Mangere, Botany, Howick, Devonport, Takapuna, Albany, and all surrounding suburbs.
Ensure your family is safe first. Turn off electricity at the mains if safe to do so. Do not walk through standing water near electrical outlets. Call iDry on 0800 452 199 immediately — the sooner water extraction begins, the less damage to your property. Avoid moving wet items or using household vacuums on floodwater.
Yes. In Auckland's humid climate, mould can begin colonising within 24–48 hours of water exposure. Professional water extraction and structural drying are essential to prevent mould growth. iDry includes antimicrobial treatment as standard in every flood restoration job to protect your property from secondary mould damage.
iDry applies recognised restoration methods and our published Auckland case studies document work completed to IICRC/S500 standards. Ask our team for the current company and technician credentials relevant to your job.
It depends on the severity of the flooding. Minor flooding in one room may not require you to leave. Significant flooding affecting multiple rooms, or situations where electricity must be turned off, often require temporary relocation. If your insurance policy includes temporary accommodation cover, iDry can help coordinate this as part of your claim.
After structural restoration is complete, your carpets and upholstered furniture may still carry residue, bacteria, and odour. For professional carpet and upholstery cleaning after flood restoration, our partners at CleaningPro provide specialist deep-cleaning services across Auckland.
