What Artus does

ARTUS Gesellschaft für Brand- und Wasserschadensanierung mbH is a German property damage restoration services provider founded in 2012 and headquartered in Isernhagen, Germany. The company operates 85+ locations nationwide and delivers an integrated service portfolio spanning water damage restoration, fire damage restoration, construction drying (Bautrocknung), construction heating (Baubeheizung), industrial and commercial large-loss restoration, mold remediation, and leak detection under its proprietary detecpro sub-brand. Its technical core combines industrial-grade dehumidification and climate control equipment with non-destructive diagnostic tools — thermographic cameras, endoscopes, and test/smoke gases — enabling precise leak localization without exploratory demolition. The detecpro unit is positioned by the company as a market leader in the German leak detection segment.

ARTUS serves four primary customer verticals: insurance companies (the lead B2B channel and primary referral source), the construction industry, real estate companies, and private individuals, with 24/7 emergency hotline and online damage-reporting intake feeding a nationwide dispatch network. Revenue is generated predominantly on a per-incident, usage-based model with scope-dependent pricing, supplemented by equipment-based services such as construction heating rentals. The company has cumulatively handled more than 80,000 damage events and disclosed 10,000+ claims processed in 2021.

Since 2021, ARTUS has been majority-owned by Castik Capital (EPIC II fund), which partnered with founders and management to execute a buy-and-build consolidation strategy. The company has tripled its branch count from 28 in 2018 to 85+ in 2024, completed three acquisitions in 2024 (Kilic Schadenservice GmbH, Nunnenkamp Schadenmanagement GmbH, and Süd-West Brandsanierung GmbH, all retained as wholly-owned subsidiaries), and reported annual revenue exceeding €140 million in 2024 per a credit risk assessment report.
