Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common causes of damp in a house?The three most frequent culprits are rising damp (where groundwater moves up through brickwork), penetrating damp (caused by leaking roofs, cracked rendering, or faulty guttering), and condensation (caused by poor ventilation and daily household activities). Our surveys accurately determine which of these is affecting your property.Is a thermal imaging damp survey disruptive?Not at all. One of the greatest advantages of our thermal imaging damp detection is that it is completely non-invasive. We do not need to drill into your walls or lift your floorboards to find the hidden source of the moisture.Can you tell the difference between a hidden leak and condensation?Yes. By combining thermal imaging technology with high-precision moisture meters, our surveyors can easily identify whether a damp patch is the result of a hidden underground leak from your central heating system or simply atmospheric moisture settling on a cold wall.

"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!"

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.
