We believe in finding the root cause of damp, not just treating the symptoms. When you book a thermal imaging damp survey with us, our process is thorough, transparent, and completely non-destructive.Visual Assessment: We begin by examining the affected areas, looking for telltale signs of condensation, rising damp, or penetrating moisture.Thermal Imaging Scan: Using advanced infrared cameras, we map the temperature variations across your walls, floors, and ceilings. This allows us to track hidden moisture paths and pinpoint leaks invisible to the naked eye.Comprehensive Diagnosis: We analyse the data to determine the exact cause of the problem, separating plumbing leaks from structural defects or inadequate ventilation.Independent Reporting: You receive a clear, impartial report detailing our findings, which can be used for lender approvals, insurance claims, or to guide targeted repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can thermal imaging find damp behind walls?Yes. Thermal imaging cameras detect minute temperature differences on the surface of your walls. Because damp materials hold different temperatures compared to dry materials, we can clearly see the hidden patterns of moisture without removing any plaster.Will I get a report suitable for my mortgage lender?Absolutely. We provide comprehensive, independent reports detailing our findings. These factual documents are highly regarded by mortgage lenders, surveyors, and homebuyers who need impartial evidence of a property's condition.Do you carry out damp proofing injections?Our primary focus is on accurate diagnosis. Many presumed rising damp issues are actually caused by hidden plumbing leaks, poor drainage, or bridging. By identifying the true root cause, we often save our customers from paying for unnecessary chemical injections.How long does a damp survey take?A typical residential thermal imaging damp survey takes between one to two hours, depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the moisture issue.

What Our Clients Say About Fact Services

"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

"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.
