Living in Loosduinen and your pipework

Which leaks we encounter in Loosduinen depends heavily on the housing stock. These are the figures for the Loosduinen neighbourhood, and what they mean if you suspect a leak.

• Many flats. In the Loosduinen district, 64% of homes are flats or other multi-family dwellings. A leak often seeps down to the neighbours below, and the source is not always in the property where the stain appears. Accurate leak detection shows which property and which pipe the water is coming from; this prevents disputes with neighbours and the owners' association (VvE).
• Are you renting? 53% of homes are rental properties (40% are owned by a housing association). If there's a leak, report it to your landlord first: repairs to pipes are usually the landlord's responsibility. If it's urgent, turn off the mains stopcock and document what you see.
• Little recent new-build. Only 2% of homes are less than ten years old. For most homes, a building guarantee has therefore expired: a leak then falls under your own insurance or, if you rent, under the landlord.
