Leak detection
Insurance claim support and paperwork
Practical support with buildings insurance claims for escape-of-water and damp damage, including reports, evidence and paperwork.
Why diagnosis matters
Treat the cause, then repair the damage
Escape-of-water and damp damage are common household insurance claims, and the paperwork can be daunting. We help by documenting the cause, providing clear reports and photographs, and carrying out the repair and reinstatement. We support the process honestly and do not guarantee any insurer decision.

Common questions
About insurance claim support and paperwork
Can you help with my insurance claim?+
Yes. We can document the cause of the damage, provide reports and photographs, and carry out the repair. This gives your insurer clear evidence to work from.
Will my claim definitely be accepted?+
We cannot promise an outcome — that decision rests with your insurer and policy. We provide accurate evidence and honest reporting so the claim is well supported.
Do you deal directly with the insurer?+
We can liaise on the technical detail of the damage and repair where helpful. We are not loss assessors, so formal negotiation of the claim remains between you and your insurer.
