Maintenance, Inspection & Service Agreements

The cheapest water damage is the one that never happens. A two-hour walkthrough catches what would cost six figures later.

Background

Why we do it this way

We make more from call-outs than inspections, but recommend them anyway — customers who avoid water damage stay with us for twenty years. You get a written report with photos and a priority list, no obligation.

What we check

Waterproofing and floor drains

Age, type and condition — drains pre-1990 are always flagged.

Pipes and fittings

Visible pipes, valves and joints, plus hidden moisture detection.

Heating system

Pressure, temperatures, expansion tank, radiators room by room.

Risk inventory

Dishwasher, washing machine, ice maker — the usual culprits.

Condition report

Photos, action list, and priorities — ready in two business days.

Service agreement

Annual walkthrough, priority response, discounted hourly rate.

The process

From first call to finished job

Booking

Choose a time — the walkthrough takes about two hours.

Walkthrough

We go through the home systematically, photographing as we go.

Report

A written report within two business days, sorted by urgency.

Action

You decide what and when. The report is yours, whoever you hire.

Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions about maintenance & inspection

Waterproofing, floor drains, visible pipes and fittings, the heating system, and appliance connections — with a written, urgency-ranked report. About two hours.

A bathroom water damage claim averages over £8,000, with the excess alone often a fifth of that. An inspection costs under £220 — cheap insurance if it's been ten years.

No. The report is yours to take anywhere, written so any firm can act on it — material specs and photos included.

An annual walkthrough, priority in the emergency queue, and 10% off the hourly rate. Housing associations also get common-area checks. Cancel anytime.
