As a building surveyor, I would like to speak to you from the closeness and commitment I feel towards all the citizens affected by the DANA in our beloved Valencian Community. As a surveyor, I know that this phenomenon has hit many homes, businesses and communities hard. Let me explain how I can help you in this delicate moment.

1. Comprehensive Damage Assessment

My work begins with a **detailed inspection of the damage** your property may have suffered. This first step is essential to understand the true extent of the damage. I identify:

- Structural damage such as cracksThe building must be protected from damage, displacements or weakened foundations that could compromise the safety of the building.
- Problems in electrical installations, plumbing, and air conditioning systems that may have been affected by flooding or damp.
- Leaks and dampness, which are common after such events, require careful inspection to avoid problems with mould and damage to ceilings, walls and floors.

This assessment not only helps to identify superficial damage, but also damage that, if not identified in time, could worsen and increase repair costs.

2. Economic Appraisal of Repairs

After inspecting the damage, the next step is to draw up a **complete technical report** in which I calculate the cost of repairs and materials needed to bring your property back to optimum condition. This report will give you a clear and accurate figure that will allow you to plan the reconstruction. I include all the necessary details, such as:

- Labour and materials.
- Additional costs if structural reinforcement is required.
- Recommendations for improvements to prevent such a thing from happening again in the future.

I know what important It is for each of you to have an accurate and transparent assessment that will enable you to deal with this situation with a realistic plan.

3. Advice on Procedures with Insurers

If they have insurance to cover this damage, the report will expert that I give you can serve as a basis for your **insurance claim**. I will see to it that the report contains all documentation detailed, with photographs and valuations necessary to support your claim.

In addition, I can advise and accompany them through this process, as I know that for many it can be complicated and confusing. I can help you understand how to file your claim effectively and, if necessary, I can work with the insurer to ensure that you are awarded fair compensation.

4. Supervision of Repair Works

Another service I can is that of **supervision of the repair work**. My presence during the reconstruction phase gives you the peace of mind of knowing that everything is being done correctly and with the right materials. During this phase:

- I supervise that the techniques and materials used meet quality standards.
- I regularly monitor the progress of the work.
- I verify that the works respect the agreed time and costs, ensuring that the project is in line with what is necessary and foreseen.

My aim is to ensure that, on completion, the property is not only as it was before, but better protected against similar events in the future.

5. Advice on Prevention of Future Damage

Finally, I provide **advice on preventive measures**. I have learned that, if we take certain precautions now, we can minimise the risks to our health. damage in the event of future DANAs. I can advise you on measures such as:

- Waterproofing of façades, roofs and terraces.
- Reinforcement of structures that may be at risk.
- Installation of improved drainage and sewage systems.
- Choice of materials resistant to humidity and climatic changes.

These recommendations are not just technical; they are practical steps to make you feel safer and more secure in your own home, whatever happens.
