How Our Hidden Leak Detection Works

Finding a leak used to mean destructive exploratory work, but our modern approach is entirely different. When you book a trace and access service in Bromsgrove with Fact Services, we follow a meticulous, non-invasive diagnostic process:Initial Consultation & Survey: We assess the visible signs of water damage, review your water meter readings, and check your central heating system for pressure drops.Thermal Imaging Leak Detection: Using advanced infrared cameras, we map the temperature variations behind your walls and beneath your floors to spot hidden moisture and escaping hot water.Acoustic Water Tracing: For underground or highly concealed pipes, we use highly sensitive acoustic sensors to listen for the distinct sound frequencies of escaping water.Targeted Repair: Once we have pinpointed the exact location, we carefully expose the pipework with minimal disruption and carry out a professional leak repair to get your plumbing or heating system back to normal safely.

Even a tiny pinhole leak under a solid concrete floor can cause noticeable pressure drops. Our thermal imaging leak detection is perfect for identifying these concealed heating leaks.Will you fix the leak once you find it?Yes.

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 hidden leak detection and non-destructive water tracing services in Wolverhampton & West Midlands

What is Trace and Access?

+

Trace and Access is a term used by insurance companies. It refers to the process of finding a hidden leak (the trace) and getting to it (the access). Most modern home insurance policies cover the cost of professional leak detection services like ours. We can provide the technical reports you might need to support your insurance claim.

Will you have to break my floor tiles to find the leak?

+

In almost all cases, no. Our thermal imaging and acoustic equipment allow us to "see" and "hear" through tiles, laminate, and concrete. We only need to remove floor coverings at the exact point where the repair needs to happen, rather than tearing up the whole room.

How do I know if my central heating is leaking?

+

The most common sign is having to top up your boiler pressure frequently. If your pressure gauge keeps dropping to zero every few days or weeks, the water is escaping somewhere. If there are no obvious drips from your radiators or valves, the leak is likely hidden under the floor.

Can thermal imaging find a leak in a cold water pipe?

+

Yes, but it works differently. While hot water leaks show up as a "hot spot," a cold water leak often shows up as a distinct temperature difference compared to the surrounding material. Our engineers are trained to interpret these infrared images to find the source accurately.
