Next, we utilise state-of-the-art infrared thermal imaging cameras. These cameras detect minute temperature variations behind your walls, floors, and ceilings, revealing the unique thermal signatures of moisture ingress, thermal bridging, or hidden leaking pipes without needing to lift floorboards or strip plaster.Finally, we compile our findings into a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report. This details the exact location and likely cause of the damp, along with our expert recommendations for permanent, effective remediation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Damp Detection

How do you detect damp without damaging walls?We use advanced thermal imaging surveys. By reading the surface temperatures of your walls and floors, our infrared cameras can identify the cooling effect of evaporating moisture, allowing us to see damp patterns completely non-invasively.Can you tell the difference between rising damp and a plumbing leak?Yes, absolutely. Different types of damp leave distinct thermal signatures. A leaking pipe typically shows as a concentrated, spreading heat or cold anomaly, whereas rising damp often presents as a continuous horizontal band of cooler temperatures at the base of a wall.How long does a non-invasive damp survey take?Most residential damp detection surveys in Broseley take between one and two hours, depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the issue. We will then provide you with a full verbal debrief before following up with your detailed written report.Do you also fix the plumbing leaks you find?Yes. Because we are fully qualified emergency plumbers and Gas Safe heating engineers, we can safely and legally repair any leaking pipes, radiators, or boiler faults we discover during the survey.

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.
