Frequently Asked Questions About Damp & Condensation

What is the difference between condensation and rising damp?Condensation occurs when warm, moist air meets a cold surface, leading to surface black mould and water droplets.

Our thermal imaging damp survey precisely identifies which distinct issue you are facing.Will the damp survey damage my walls or floors?Not at all. Our thermal imaging and moisture mapping techniques are completely non-invasive, meaning we do not need to drill holes, lift floorboards, or remove plaster to find the source of the moisture.Do you also fix the plumbing leaks you find?Yes.

"Called Fact Services when our Worcester boiler broke down in the middle of the night. The Gas Safe engineer arrived within the hour, diagnosed the fault immediately, and had our heating back on before morning. Genuine, professional, and very fairly priced. Highly recommend them!"

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

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.
