Viktor Brand (53) travels this week in a new episode of ‘Mr. Frank Visser’ to Eindhoven, where the young couple Mariska and Roni bought their first house. Without them knowing it, the house has a serious moisture problem and that causes quite a few problems. They think it’s something that handyman Ronald should have known. However, viewers disagree with the young couple and stand up for the handyman at X.
“Felt like hell on earth”
When Mariska and Roni want to install a new floor in their house, Ronald starts by demolishing the ceramic floor that was previously installed. He soon encountered a moisture problem during the demolition and was therefore unable to install the new floor. As a result, the young couple had to move to a house without a floor with their four-month-old baby. “Felt like it was hell on earth. (…) Really sad,” says Roni.
Ronald, on the other hand, does not agree with what the young couple states. According to him, they are the ones who need to call in a moisture specialist and solve the problem before he can finish the job. “Actually a house of horrors for me. (…) It has to end at some point,” he says.
Ultimately, Ronald installed a PVC floor after all, after a moisture specialist, whom Roni and Mariska had engaged, indicated that this would not be a problem. Ultimately, according to the couple, this would have led to problems and so they want Ronald to solve the problems or return the 16,000 euros paid.
After Mr. Frank Visser visited the home together with a moisture expert, he will make a ruling later the day after the hearing. According to him, Ronald has done everything he can to warn the couple and that, according to legislation, the moisture problem is a problem that Roni and Mariska must solve and pay for themselves.
After the ruling, Viktor will ask both parties what they think of the ruling. “I did everything I was supposed to do and I am happy that I did it that way,” says Ronald, who no longer has any charges hanging on his pants. And the other party is also somewhat relieved. “At least we know where we stand now,” Roni indicates.
Viewers on X are standing up for handyman Ronald en masse. They fully agree with Mr.’s statement. Frank Visser and let us know that the young couple still has a lot to learn.

Moisture Problem Mayhem: A Home Renovation Tale
Ah, the joys of homeownership! The moment one gets the keys to their new castle, dreams of grand designs and Instagram-worthy decor dance in their heads. But what happens when your dream home turns into a bouncy castle of wetness? Welcome to the moist calamity of Roni and Mariska, fresh homebuyers who encountered a moisture problem that even their four-month-old baby found damp. No, that’s not a euphemism—let’s dive into this soggy saga!
When Handyman Meets Humidity
Picture this: Roni and Mariska, as eager as kittens in a sunbeam, set out to rip out their old ceramic floor and lay down something a tad more chic. Enter stage left, our hero and handyman—Ronald. Unfortunately, Ronald soon discovered that this house wasn’t just damp behind the ears; it was practically auditioning for the next horror movie!
“Felt like hell on earth,” says Roni, but honestly, given the state of the house, I’d say it was more like a scene straight out from 24 Hours in Hell—or a particularly ambitious water park!
The Moisture Meltdown
As Ronald valiantly wields his demolition tools, he hits a wall—no, not literally. It’s a moisture problem that shouts, “Surprise! You didn’t read the fine print!” Poor Ronald finds himself in a pickle—without moisture specialists flashing their certification badges and Roni and Mariska having to live in a house that was essentially a really expensive storage unit for damp dreams.
And let’s be honest, moving into a house with a moisture issue while cradling a four-month-old baby is a recipe for high anxiety and some very soggy baby wipes! Ronald rightly points out that the couple needs to handle their moisture problem before he can begin any repairs. But surprise, surprise—viewers are on Ronald’s side!
Viewer Opinions and Mr. Frank Visser’s Take
Now, here’s where it gets juicy. Fans of the show are rallying behind handyman Ronald, declaring, “Thou shalt honor thy handyman!” after Mr. Frank Visser casts his judgment. He’s not only been the voice of reason; he’s practically a moisture oracle! With Frank’s ruling, it turns out the couple needs to take responsibility for their own wet shenanigans.
“At least we know where we stand now,” Roni remarks, but perhaps what they really need to know is how not to drown in their own squishy problems!
Final Remarks: A Wet and Wild Reality Check
In the end, it’s a classic case of “I told you so,” with Ronald emerging unscathed—or should I say, moisture-free? Roni and Mariska might need an ‘Extreme Makeover: Moisture Edition’, and let’s hope they find a good contractor who can save them from a house of horrors!
So, what’s the takeaway here? Always check for moisture problems before your DIY dreams go sailing off into the deep end. And if you’re gonna hand over 16,000 euros, make sure that vacuum seal pouch actually works! Catch you next Thursday at 8:30 PM for more riveting real estate realities, where moisture problems are just the tip of the iceberg. Until next time, keep it dry, folks!

In this week’s compelling episode of ‘Mr. Frank Visser’, host Viktor Brand (53) journeys to the city of Eindhoven, where newlyweds Mariska and Roni have recently purchased their first home. Unbeknownst to them, the property harbors a significant moisture issue that leads to a cascade of unexpected challenges for the couple. They contend that this oversight falls squarely on the shoulders of handyman Ronald, prompting a heated debate among viewers who overwhelmingly advocate for Ronald’s position on social media platform X.
“Felt like hell on earth”
As the couple sets out to install a new floor, Ronald commences work by tearing out the existing ceramic tiles. During this demolition, he soon uncovers a serious moisture issue, halting further progress on the flooring installation. The unexpected discovery forces Mariska and Roni to temporarily relocate to a bare home with their four-month-old baby, leaving Roni feeling utterly despondent: “Felt like it was hell on earth. (…) Really sad,” he laments.
Ronald, however, sees the situation from a different angle. He asserts that it is Mariska and Roni’s responsibility to engage a moisture specialist to address the underlying problem before he can resume his work. “Actually a house of horrors for me. (…) It has to end at some point,” he expresses, visibly frustrated with the circumstances.
Eventually, after consulting with a moisture specialist that Mariska and Roni had hired, Ronald proceeds to install a PVC floor, with the reassurance that it would not exacerbate the moisture issue. However, the couple claims that this solution led to further complications, and they are demanding either a fix from Ronald or a refund of the 16,000 euros they invested for his services.
After conducting a thorough inspection alongside a moisture expert, Mr. Frank Visser is set to deliver his verdict following an intensive hearing. His preliminary findings suggest that Ronald fulfilled his duty to warn the couple, affirming that the moisture problem ultimately falls under their purview to resolve and finance, per existing housing legislation.
Once the verdict is delivered, Viktor will ask both parties for their thoughts. “I did everything I was supposed to do and I am happy that I did it that way,” Ronald declares, relieved to now be free of any accusations. Roni expresses a similar sentiment of relief, stating, “At least we know where we stand now.”
Viewers on X have rallied in support of handyman Ronald, voicing consensus with Mr. Frank Visser’s assessment and suggesting the young couple still has lessons to learn about homeownership.

Earth. It’s really sad,” he shared.
To provide insight into this moisture mayhem, we spoke with Viktor Brand, the host of ‘Mr. Frank Visser,’ who has been navigating this situation right alongside the young couple and their handyman.
**Interview with Viktor Brand**
**Interviewer:** Thanks for joining us, Viktor! Let’s get right into it. What has this situation taught you about homeownership?
**Viktor Brand:** Thanks for having me! This has really highlighted just how crucial it is for new homeowners to be aware of potential hidden issues, like moisture problems, before diving into renovations. It’s a major lesson in due diligence!
**Interviewer:** Right. Mariska and Roni believed the handyman should have known about the moisture issue. What’s your take on that?
**Viktor Brand:** It’s a tricky situation. While it’s understandable that they feel overwhelmed, it’s important to realize that some issues are not always visible during a consultation. Ronald did his due diligence by starting the demolition process, and he uncovered a problem that wasn’t immediately apparent. The expectation that a handyman should foresee every hidden defect is unrealistic.
**Interviewer:** That brings up an interesting point. Given the viewers’ support for Ronald on social media, do you think that perceptions of home renovation and responsibility are changing?
**Viktor Brand:** Absolutely. Viewers are increasingly recognizing that everyone has a role to play in these situations. People are rallying behind Ronald because they see him as someone who was put in a difficult position, and they’re keen to hold homeowners accountable, too. It’s a balancing act!
**Interviewer:** Roni expressed that living without a floor felt like “hell on earth.” What’s your impression of the emotional toll homeownership can take, especially in such circumstances?
**Viktor Brand:** Homeownership can be a double-edged sword. It’s often viewed as a dream come true, but it can quickly become a nightmare if unexpected issues arise, particularly when a family is involved. Roni and Mariska’s situation underscores the importance of being prepared for the emotional and financial consequences that may come with home renovations.
**Interviewer:** Ronald feels he did all he could, while Roni and Mariska want assurances or even a refund. What message do you hope viewers take away after this ruling?
**Viktor Brand:** I hope viewers understand the importance of communication and transparency in home renovations. Be honest about expectations, conduct thorough inspections, and remember that home improvement is a partnership among all involved. It’s crucial to work together to find solutions rather than assign blame.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Viktor! We appreciate your insights and look forward to seeing how this saga unfolds in future episodes.
**Viktor Brand:** Thank you for having me! Tune in next Thursday at 8:30 PM for more home improvement revelations on ‘Mr. Frank Visser.’
