PS Calamiteiten

What PS Calamiteiten does

PS Calamiteiten B.V. is a Dutch emergency property damage restoration company headquartered in Almere, Flevoland, and operating through seven regional offices across the Netherlands (Almere, Almelo, Breda, Uden, Mierlo, Rotterdam, Heinkenszand). Founded in 2019 and operating as a subsidiary of Solvo Group, the company delivers 24/7 rapid response and full-cycle restoration for fire, water, storm, and mold damage to insurance-linked residential customers, housing corporations, property managers, and private homeowners and businesses.

The company runs an integrated eight-service portfolio spanning Salvage coordination, construction repair, fire/smoke restoration, drying technology, leak detection, mold remediation, and storm and water damage. Its technical stack combines advanced non-invasive leak detection (infrared, trace gas, color dyes, smoke detection) and high-tech drying equipment capable of reaching cavities and subfloors, supported by in-house multidisciplinary trades (painters, plasterers, carpenters, plumbers, masons, tilers) and a customer portal for dossier tracking. Certifications include ISO 9001 (quality management) and VCA** (highest-tier contractor safety).

The revenue model is professional services, billed primarily through Dutch insurance claims coordinated via the Stichting Salvage emergency network (of which PS Calamiteiten is an authorized provider) or directly to non-insured clients, with an Acte van Cessie enabling direct insurer payment. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on 24/7 phone response, the Stichting Salvage referral channel, social media presence, and direct B2B relationships with institutional property holders rather than outbound marketing campaigns.

Direct peers

• Polygon Group: Swedish-headquartered property damage restoration group with Dutch operations. Comparable service offering (water, fire, climate, leak detection) and similar B2B insurance-driven revenue model; competes for the same housing corporation and insurer panel contracts.
• Rainbow International: Dutch subsidiary of global restoration leader BELFOR, offering fire, water, and storm damage restoration services across the Netherlands. Directly comparable as a Stichting Salvage-registered provider with similar insurance-billing model, but at significantly larger national scale.
• MTG Multi Trades Group: Dutch restoration and building services group with national reach across fire, water, and storm damage. Comparable as a multi-trade contractor serving insurance and corporate customers with integrated emergency and rebuild capabilities.
• ICS Calamiteiten Services: Dutch disaster response and restoration provider with nationwide coverage. Comparable as a Stichting Salvage-affiliated emergency response competitor offering overlapping fire, water, and storm damage services to housing corporations and insurers.
• CoBuur Calamiteiten: Dutch restoration and damage response company serving insurance, corporate, and private customers. Directly comparable as a regional-to-national competitor with similar Stichting Salvage-linked insurance billing workflow.
• Waterproof Nederland: Dutch water damage and leak detection specialist. Directly comparable for the technical leak detection and drying service lines, serving insurance and corporate customers with similar equipment and process approach.

Broad incumbents

• BELFOR: Global leader in disaster recovery and property restoration, parent of Rainbow International. Operates as a broad incumbent with national-account capabilities across multiple countries; offers overlapping services but with substantially greater scale, equipment fleet, and major-loss response capacity.
• Van Dorp Onderhoudsgroep: Dutch multi-disciplinary building services and maintenance provider with restoration capabilities. Comparable as a broader incumbent offering building maintenance, renovation, and damage repair to housing corporations and property managers.

Emerging players

• Lekdetectie.nl: Dutch leak detection specialist using similar non-invasive techniques (infrared, trace gas, smoke detection). Partially comparable for the technical detection service line but more narrowly focused than PS Calamiteiten's full restoration offering.

Others

• Stichting Salvage: Dutch insurance-industry foundation that coordinates post-calamity emergency response and routes work to authorized service providers. Not a competitor but a critical referral channel and industry infrastructure that PS Calamiteiten depends upon for demand generation.
