Expert Oil Spill Insurance Claims Management
Protecting Your Home and Your Health
Oil Spill & Leak Damage Claims Loss Assessor Ireland
An oil spill or a hidden heating oil leak in your home or garden is a nightmare scenario. The escaped oil (kerosene or diesel) can cause catastrophic contamination to soil, groundwater, and even the foundations of your property.
Costs for the required environmental remediation often run into tens or even hundreds of thousands of euro. At Claims Assist, we are specialized Public Loss Assessors who manage these technically complex and highly stressful oil leak insurance claims across Leinster, Munster, and Connacht.
We act immediately to coordinate specialist contractors, prove the loss to your insurer, and fight for a settlement that covers the full, often extensive, cost of cleanup and restoration. We ensure the insurance company’s loss adjuster accounts for every liter of contaminated soil and every structural risk.
Claims Assist is Regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.

Oil Spill Claims: Complexity, Contamination, and Cost
Oil leak damage claims are fundamentally different from standard water damage claims due to the environmental and health hazards involved.
Invisible Contamination
Oil can seep deep into the subsoil, under concrete slabs, and into the foundations of your home. We arrange the necessary soil testing and site surveys to accurately define the full ‘plume’ of contamination—a critical step the insurer will scrutinise.
Structural and Air Quality Issues
Escaped oil can undermine foundations and the noxious fumes can saturate carpets, furnishings, and walls, causing long-term health risks (nausea, dizziness)
Insurer Scrutiny
Insurance policies often contain strict clauses regarding pollution and gradual damage. We anticipate these challenges and present the evidence required to prove the spill was a ‘sudden and accidental’ event covered by your policy.
Massive Costs
Due to high landfill taxes and the requirement for specialist environmental companies, oil spill cleanup costs in Ireland can be astronomical. Our expertise ensures you secure the funds needed for a proper, certified remediation.
Our Immediate 5-Step Oil Spill Claims Action Plan
When you discover an oil leak (via smell, visible stain, or low tank gauge), you need immediate, professional help. We manage the entire process, removing the stress from you.
- Emergency Co-ordination: We immediately instruct specialist, certified oil remediation contractors to contain the leak, minimise the spread, and begin urgent clean-up protocols.
- Specialist Reporting: We commission and oversee all mandatory reports, including CCTV pipe inspections, soil analysis, and environmental impact statements, forming the core evidence for your claim.
- Claim Quantification & Submission: We quantify the total loss, including the cost of: dig and dump, bioremediation, building restoration, replacement of contaminated contents, and alternative accommodation.
- Challenging the Insurer: We handle all dealings with the Loss Adjuster, expertly challenging any attempt to deny or underpay the claim based on ‘wear and tear’ or ‘negligence’ exclusions.
- Certification of Clean-Up: We ensure the remediation is completed to the highest standard and secure the necessary validation certificate to protect the value and saleability of your property.
