# Street Gutters / Storm Water, 16 Ridder Place, Halswell, Christchurch 8025, New Zealand

Halswell, Christchurch · filed 14 March 2026 · report 7906523
https://www.chch.live/report/7906523

> The storm water outlet from our house is partially blocked by tree roots. Water blast Canterbury took a photo which shows the roots and the crack in the pipe where they have entered. The other photo has a red dot which shows where the break is on the footpath. This has been repaired in the past but somehow the roots have re-entered the pipe. As a result there is flooding around the house with moderate to heavy rainfall. The pipe join needs to be repaired
