Emergency Make-Safe Repairs in Auckland

The moment damage happens, the priority is stopping it getting worse. We secure your Auckland property fast and document everything for your claim.

When a pipe bursts, a storm hits or a fire goes through, the first hours matter most. Emergency make-safe in Auckland is about securing the property, removing the immediate danger and stopping further loss — before the full repair is even scoped. We respond fast, make it safe, and photograph everything so your insurance claim starts on solid ground.

What we do

You can choose your own builder. When your insurer gives you the option to use your own repairer, you can appoint Add Value Restoration. We'll scope the damage, quote your insurer, and manage the reinstatement once it's approved.

What's typically covered

Every policy is different — check your wording or talk to your insurer about what your cover includes.

Do I need to call my insurer before you come out?
