You have moisture in the facade and your insurer requests a Facade Leak Insurance Report. We at Ultrices Leak Detection create a clear report that strengthens your claim.
We perform leak detection using moisture measurement and thermography, and inspect jointing, sealant joints, window frames, cavities, and rainwater drainage. We document the cause and location with photos, measurement values, repair advice, and a cost estimate.
This way you have proof for the insurer, quick coverage, and clarity regarding damage. Google reviews 5/5 and read our Google reviews about facade leakage insurance report.
Table of contents
A watertight report for facade leakage insurance is the formal document of proof with which you demonstrate what is wrong with the exterior shell of your building, how the water infiltration originated, and what consequential damage is directly related to the source. At Ultrices Leak Detection, we provide a complete and acceptance-ready facade leakage insurance report that meets the requirements of buildings insurance and industry guidelines from the Dutch Association of Insurers. You will receive a clear expert report with measurement data, thermographic images, test results, photo documentation, and substantiated repair advice including a cost estimate.

How our facade leakage insurance report is structured
Our file combines investigation, analysis, and evidence in a way that insurers can assess immediately. Your Comprehensive Expertise Report is ready within three days of inspection, and often even sooner in urgent cases. The content is modular and aligns with policy conditions for buildings and business interruption.
- Source and causality: substantiated cause for facade penetration, rain penetration, leaking window frame, damaged jointing, saturated cavity or failing expansion joints, including chain of causation towards consequential damage
- Location and burden of proof: exact location determination with photos, infrared images, and reproducible measurement values
- Consequential damage and extent: description of damp spots, mold growth, peeling plaster, insulation damage, or wood rot with moisture percentage measurement reports
- Recovery advice and priority: clear measures with order of urgency and outline estimates for recovery
- Administrative data: policy and file references, site plan, weather conditions and test conditions during measurements
Detection techniques without hacking or breaking
We combine building physics with precision using professional detection equipment. Our methodology follows recognized principles from EN 13187 and ISO 6781 for building thermography and combines multiple techniques for high certainty.
- Thermography of the facade: Infrared thermal patterns make thermal bridges, moisture trails, and water ingress points visible with an infrared facade scan
- Controlled water test: section-targeted spraying to verify impact routes and test facade details such as window sills and lead flashing, read more in our water test for facade leakage
- Smoke test and dye tracer: air and tracer tracks leaky seams, cracks, and crevices without destruction
- Endoscopy of the cavity: visual inspection of cavity contamination, wet insulation material, and thermal bridges
- Contact and dielectric moisture measurements: calibrations with reference values for masonry, concrete, and plaster
Step-by-step plan from notification to insurance payout

- Coordination with insurerIf desired, we will speak with the claims handler for smooth acceptance and a guarantee of coverage.
Leak detection process request
What evidence your insurer expects in the event of a facade leak
We deliver exactly what claims handlers want to see so that your facade leak insurance report gets through the assessment without any hassle.
- Clear source of cause: unambiguous source of water infiltration such as cracking, porous jointing or leaky connections
- Objective measurement data: infrared images, moisture percentages, pressure and flow data from tests with measurement parameters
- Photo credits: overview and detailed photos with positions and timestamps for verification
- Causality and consequential damage: logical link between source and damage pattern, including damage estimate
- Recovery pathway and prevention: concrete steps to prevent recurrence and limit consequential damage
Typical causes and recognizable scenarios with examples
Facade leakage exhibits patterns that we validate daily. Through combinations of tests, we eliminate noise and ensure solid documentation.
- Facade penetration due to rain: driving rain penetrates crumbling masonry or defective pointing, visible as vertical damp streaks in the inner wall
- Leakage around window frames: failing glazing sealant or poor sealing on window sills causes streaks and mold on reveals
- Cavity wall problems: contamination or saturated insulation material acts as a moisture bridge, resulting in peeling plaster
- Expansion joint and detail errors: open expansion joints or missing lead flashing above facade openings lead to local water ingress
- Construction damage: cracking due to settlement creates capillary-suction cracks that transport water

Frequently asked questions
What is a facade leak insurance report and what does your insurer look for?
A facade leakage insurance report is a technically substantiated dossier containing a cause determination, measured values, photographic evidence, location coordinates, and repair advice with a cost estimate. We link symptoms such as damp patches and mold to a demonstrable source, such as a leaking damp-proof course, open weep holes, cracking around window frames, or a defective expansion joint. Thanks to professional techniques such as thermography, endoscopy, moisture measurements, and targeted spray tests, we provide reproducible evidence without any demolition or breaking work.
Insurers and claims experts assess whether the damage is sudden and unforeseen, whether your policy provides coverage, and whether the cause is demonstrable. Our VCA VOL and NEN 3140 certified team provides a comprehensive expert report that is typically accepted immediately by Dutch expert firms. Please note that the insurer always determines the final coverage based on policy conditions.
How do you increase the chance of coverage for facade leakage with a strong leak detection report?
Immediately document what you see with the date, extent, and photos, limit the damage by temporarily covering it, and report the damage to your insurer. We arrive on-site nationwide urgently and often within an hour to objectively record the situation. In the report, we link measurement data and test results to the cause of the damage and substantiate whether it involves rain penetration, penetrating damp, or failing details such as lead flashing or jointing.
We deliver an expert report within three days, including a repair plan and cost estimate, which you can submit. We guide you through the claim and offer a no cure no pay service on the inspection. For facades that primarily cause problems during precipitation, you will find additional explanation in our guide. Quickly rule out rain penetrationThe final coverage is subject to your policy.

Which methods do we use for facade leakage without demolition work, and does the insurer accept them?
We combine non-destructive techniques such as thermographic thermal scans, cavity endoscopy, moisture measurement in interior walls, smoke tests for airflows, and controlled spray tests on details such as damp-proof courses, lintels, and window frame connections. This combination reveals whether you are dealing with penetrating damp, capillary action, leaky lead flashing, or infiltration through weep holes.
