Service area

All of South Holland and Amsterdam. For HOA buildings under management we also travel further.

Leaks get priority

Water that keeps running makes the damage worse every hour. Those reports are scheduled first.

Damage report € 500 excl. VAT

Fixed rate, also if you have the repair done elsewhere. Usually reimbursed by your insurer.

Who we work for

The same damage, three different problems. And what we do about each of them.

HOA property managers

The problemFour residents calling, three parties to coordinate, and a general meeting asking why it is not finished.

What we do

  • Residents call us, not you: we schedule each apartment separately
  • HOA and private portions recorded in the report before work starts
  • You see every case live in the portal, without picking up the phone
  • One itemised invoice, no mark-up

Insurers

The problemAssessor, repairer and policyholder work past each other. Cases run over as a result.

What we do

  • Inspection and report in a fixed format
  • Cause, consequential damage and repair costs documented separately, with photos
  • Repair by the party that inspected
  • We keep the policyholder informed, so you receive no status enquiries

Private owners

The problemWater in the house, no idea who to call, then weeks of waiting on the insurer.

What we do

  • We email and call your insurer
  • No reply? Then we follow up
  • In the portal you see what has been sent and what the next step is
  • One contact with a name and a number, from report to completion

How we work

Ten stages, three phases. In the portal you see which stage your claim has reached and what comes next.

Off your hands

What we take off your hands

This is what that means in practice.

  • We handle the correspondenceYou sign one digital authorisation in the portal. After that we register the claim, submit the report and answer the insurer's questions. Your signed copy stays in the case file.
  • We watch the deadlinesIf a reply or approval does not arrive, we follow up. That keeps the case moving, even when the other side goes quiet.
  • You watch along liveIn the portal you see exactly what we see: which stage the claim has reached, what has been sent and when we are coming.

Why you can check us

We carry out both the inspection and the repair. That rightly raises the question of whether we are objective. This is how we have arranged it.

Report € 500, fixed rate

Usually reimbursed by your insurer. Send your policy schedule and we will check that for you in advance. The amount does not change if someone else does the repair.

Structural engineer on the inspection

Not an estimator, but someone who understands the structure. Moisture readings with photos, so it can be verified.

We supply facts, not cover

We record what happened and where the cause lay. Whether it falls under your policy is for the insurer. That is stated in every report.

A specialist per element

A leak detection specialist is not a plasterer. We check the work and hand it over ourselves. Whoever visits is named in your case file.

Questions we are often asked

What does it cost if the insurer does not pay out?

You hear that in advance, not afterwards. Send your policy schedule and terms with your report and we will find out what is covered before we visit. Investigation costs are almost always included with a covered claim; if they are not, you hear that beforehand and decide yourself whether to proceed. The damage report costs € 500 excluding VAT, the same amount whether you have the repair done elsewhere or not. Before we repair anything you also receive an itemised quote.

Do I have to contact my insurer myself?

No. With your authorisation we register the claim, submit the report and answer the questions. If a reply does not arrive, we follow up. In the portal you see what has been sent and when.

How quickly can you be there?

For a leak that is still running we come with priority, because every hour adds damage. [Emergency response time to be filled in.] For damage that has stopped we schedule the inspection by arrangement, usually [term to be filled in].

The damage comes from my neighbour's home. What now?

That is common in apartment buildings. We inspect both homes and record in the report where the cause lies and which part falls under the HOA and which is private. Both parties receive the same report, so the discussion is about facts rather than assumptions.

Do I get access to the portal?

Yes, as soon as your case is opened. You log in with your email address and see your own case: the stage it has reached, the documents, the photos and the scheduled appointments. Property managers see all cases for their buildings in one overview.

Do you also work without insurance, simply on a quote?

Yes. If you want only the repair, or only an inspection with a report for an insurance matter, we do that as a separate assignment. You choose that when reporting.

Report damage

Reporting online is faster than calling: your case is opened straight away, your photos are attached immediately and you are not put on hold. We call you back, within one working day.

What can we do for you?Step 1 of 5 · approx. 2 min

What are you reporting?

Then you know straight away who will contact you.

What is it about? More than one answer is possible.

Where is the damage?

The address of the property, not your billing address.

What is going on?

A few sentences is enough. Photos help us most.

  • Where in the property is the damage, and in which room?
  • Since when has it been happening, and is it getting worse?
  • Do you know where it comes from, and has anything been done about it?
A few more words. The more specific you are, the better prepared we arrive.0

With photos we can often see what is going on before the inspection. That can save you a visit and gives a sharper estimate.

With your policy schedule and terms we find out what is and is not covered before we even visit. Then you know in advance where you stand.

Sure you want to continue without photos?With images we can often assess straight away what is needed. Tap Next again to continue without.

When suits you?

Give three moments and we will schedule the inspection without calling back and forth.
