Ground water issues

Nick Jenness from Nick The Builder

Howdy Neighbours
We all know that this winter has been a particularly wet one. If fact we have had an unprecedented amount of rain which is causing new ground water issues everywhere.
Well fear not, we have solutions.
This is our latest project where our lovely clients were having issues with ground water seeping through the basement into the house. You can see the waterline on the dirt bank in the before photo.
We had a drainage company install drainage and a automatic submersible water pump to disperse the ground water. Then we installed a block wall with a Waterproofing membrane and scoria in front of the dirt bank. Works like magic and no more water issues.

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...

Prospa

A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.

The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.

The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'

Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
