About the expert office
SV-Büro Tiedemann, based in Langwedel (Schleswig-Holstein), is an expert office for fire cause determination. It prepares fire expert reports and statements on the technical cause of fire – depending on the damage case, following an on-site investigation or, for older cases, based on file review. The work includes the timely inspection of the fire scene, comprehensive photographic documentation, the use of a drone and a 360° camera, and fire trace analysis to determine the area of fire origin. In the expert report, devices or areas not related to the cause of the fire are excluded and narrowed down until the individual component causing the fire is identified; in addition, recourse options are assessed and the relevant legal and standards situation is cited. The team consists of Lisa Tiedemann (M.Sc., B.Eng.), Lothar Tiedemann (Dipl.-Ing. (FH) in Electrical Engineering, over 30 years of experience, trained at IfS Kiel) and Philip Jander (Diploma in Physics). Its clients are mainly insurers and claims adjusters.
