Leak detection in Amsterdam: where the leak usually is
Amsterdam has more than 474,000 homes. 87% are flats, 70% are rented (40% from a housing association) and 80% were built before 2000 (CBS, 2023). Almost nine in ten homes in Amsterdam are flats. In Amsterdam, Waternet supplies the drinking water; the pipes after the water meter belong to the owner of the home. Many Amsterdam homes were built before 1960. Lead was banned in 1960, but checks in 2021 still found lead in 3,987 of the 87,312 pre-1960 homes of Amsterdam housing associations, mostly in Amsterdam-Noord.
In a flat, a leak often comes from upstairs or runs through to the neighbours below. So we also check pipes and drains you share with the neighbours, and put in writing where the leak was: that helps with the neighbours, the owners' association and the insurer.

Questions about leak detection
Can’t find the answer to your question? Feel free to call or WhatsApp us, outside office hours too.
How do I check in Amsterdam whether water is leaking somewhere?
Close all taps and note the reading on the water meter; look again an hour later. If the meter keeps running, water is leaking after the meter, and that part is yours. In Amsterdam, Waternet supplies the drinking water; the pipes after the water meter belong to the owner of the home.
I live in Amsterdam and my leak is affecting the neighbours. What now?
Turn off the main stopcock, take photos and have the leak traced. You get a report from us with the cause, which you can give to the neighbours and your insurer. Seven in ten Amsterdam homes are rented. Report a repair to your landlord or housing association first, and for a flat in an owners' association (VvE) to the association as well.
