Emergency Support Initiatives by Koken Reform

In light of the significant housing damage caused by the heavy rain in Chiba Prefecture and surrounding areas in August 2022, Koken, a leading player in the renovation and home improvement sector, has stepped up to offer vital assistance. The company, headquartered in Osaka and with a Tokyo branch in Chiyoda, is launching a series of emergency response measures to support victims in their efforts to restore normalcy to their lives.

Background of the Initiative

The heavy downpours led to widespread flooding, submerged roads, and severe damage to residential properties. In the aftermath, many affected residents found themselves overwhelmed with inquiries to local contractors, often encountering confusion regarding whom to trust for repairs. This situation opened the door for potential exploitation, highlighting the risks of unsolicited repair offers. To combat these challenges, Koken Reform has established an efficient emergency response team within its expanded network, prioritizing support for Chiba Prefecture as they prepare for a full-scale entrance into the Kanto region planned for August 2026.

Commitment to Accurate Assessments

One of the primary concerns following a disaster is the fear of needing costly repairs right away. Koken Reform prioritizes the accurate assessment of damages over sales, ensuring that homeowners are well-informed about the actual conditions of their properties. This approach emphasizes a clear communication strategy, which categorizes areas needing immediate intervention versus those that require monitoring. By offering tailored repair plans that avoid unnecessary expenses, Koken aims to protect the structural integrity of homes affected by the recent floods.

Overview of Support Measures

Financial Assistance for Affected Homeowners

Koken Reform is offering a discount of 30,000 yen on construction costs for external repair work, including important services such as roofing, waterproofing, and wall restoration.

Service Areas

The initial service areas include Chiba City, Sakura City, Yachiyo City, Ichihara City, Kamagaya City, Mobara City, and surrounding districts. As the recovery progresses, Koken Reform will adaptively expand its operational coverage based on specific damage and transportation accessibility.
