What is a bathroom leak report for insurance
A bathroom leak report for insurance is an independent expert report that demonstrates where the leak originates, what the cause is, what damage has occurred, and what repair measures are necessary. Insurers use this to determine whether the water damage falls under your buildings or contents insurance and whether the damage occurred suddenly and unexpectedly. Our report aligns with the guidelines of the Dutch Association of Insurers and contains technical substantiation according to NEN 1006 for drinking water installations and NEN 3215 for internal sewerage. We work with NIVRE-certified principles so that claims handlers and experts from parties such as CED and Dekra can use the report directly in the claim assessment. At Ultrices Leak Detection, you receive a comprehensive expert report within three days that strengthens your claim and prevents misunderstandings regarding overdue maintenance.

- Drain and siphon: coverage dependent on breakage or loose connection, validated with dye and smoke
- Shower floor and sealant joints: often maintenance-intensive, we substantiate the difference between a construction defect and wear and tear

Practical examples and results for your claim
In an apartment in Amsterdam, a hidden leak in the hot water pipe behind the shower wall turned out to be the cause of ceiling damage for the downstairs neighbors. Using acoustics, thermography, and a pressure test, we demonstrated a sudden failure of a compression fitting. The insurer approved the repair and consequential damage based on our bathroom leak report insurance.
In a 1930s home in Utrecht, leakage through dried-out sealant joints caused mold spots. Using a dye test and moisture measurements, we distinguished between maintenance and a construction defect. The insurer reimbursed consequential damage, and the owner renewed the sealing according to our repair plan.

Many policies include separate coverage for leak detection, often up to a fixed amount. Pay attention to exclusions such as overdue maintenance on sealant or porous grout, and take an excess into account.
