How Our Damp Diagnostics and Thermal Imaging Work

Our damp detection process is designed to be completely non-destructive, relying on science rather than guesswork. When our qualified surveyors arrive at your Bloxwich property, we begin with a thorough visual inspection before deploying state-of-the-art infrared thermal imaging cameras. These cameras allow us to see temperature variations behind your walls, floors, and ceilings, instantly highlighting cold spots where moisture is secretly accumulating.By tracing the thermal footprint, we can differentiate between issues like persistent condensation, hidden leaking pipes, or genuine rising damp without lifting floorboards or damaging your plaster. Once the exact source is identified, we compile a detailed, independent report. This clear, authoritative documentation outlines the severity of the issue and provides actionable, unbiased advice on the best remedial steps to take.

Local Compliance, Building Regs and Safety Standards

At Fact Services, we hold ourselves to the highest regulatory standards. Ensuring your home complies with UK Building Regulations is a core part of our service. Our damp detection surveys take into account Part C of the Building Regulations, which governs site preparation and resistance to contaminants and moisture, as well as Part L, which focuses on the conservation of fuel and power (as damp walls lose heat much faster than dry ones).Furthermore, because we are Gas Safe Registered experts (Registration No: 149167), we offer an added layer of safety. If our thermal imaging sweep detects that your damp issue is actually caused by a leaking central heating pipe or a faulty commercial boiler, we have the exact legal accreditations required to repair the gas or water system immediately. We are also fully covered by Public Liability Insurance, ensuring complete peace of mind.

Mark T. / Wolverhampton

"We had a persistent damp patch that another plumber couldn't find the source of. Fact Services came out to us in Dudley, used their thermal imaging camera, and pinpointed the hidden leak under the floorboards in minutes. Saved us from ripping up the whole living room floor. Outstanding 24/7 service!"

Sarah J. / Dudley

"Fact Services installed a brand new gas interlock system and issued a CP42 safety certificate for our restaurant kitchen. Top-class commercial gas engineers—they knew exactly what the building controls required and worked around our opening hours to minimize disruption. Great honest tradesmen."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our damp detection surveys and thermal imaging services in Wolverhampton & West Midlands

What is the difference between a damp survey and a timber rot inspection?

+

A damp survey focuses on finding the source of moisture. A timber rot inspection looks at the damage that moisture has already caused, such as dry rot or wet rot in floor joists and roof timbers. We often perform both together to give you a full picture of your property's health.

Can thermal imaging see through wallpaper?

+

Yes. Thermal imaging detects the temperature of the surface, which is affected by the moisture behind it. Even if your walls look dry on the surface, the camera can often spot the cold signature of dampness trapped behind the wallpaper or plasterboard.

Is condensation considered a "damp" problem?

+

Absolutely. In fact, condensation is the most common cause of damp in Wolverhampton homes. It happens when warm, moist air hits cold surfaces. Our infrared surveys identify "cold bridges" (areas with poor insulation) where condensation is most likely to occur, allowing us to suggest the right ventilation or insulation fix.

How long does a damp detection survey take?

+

For a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house, a thorough survey usually takes between 1 and 2 hours. We take the time to scan every room and check external brickwork and guttering for potential entry points.

Do you provide damp surveys for homebuyers?

+

Yes. If a mortgage valuer has flagged a "damp issue," we can provide a technical infrared survey to confirm if there is a genuine problem or if it was a false reading from a basic moisture meter. This can save a property sale from falling through.
