How Our Non-Destructive Leak Detection Works

Finding a leak without tearing up floorboards requires technical expertise and precision equipment. At Fact Services, our trace and access process is designed to find the exact problem quickly and cleanly.Initial Assessment: We begin with a thorough visual inspection and pressure testing of your heating and water systems to confirm the presence of an active leak.Thermal Imaging: We use high-resolution infrared cameras to detect temperature variations behind solid surfaces, allowing us to clearly see the exact heat signature of escaping water or spreading dampness.Acoustic Leak Detection: For underground pipes or heavily insulated areas, we use highly sensitive acoustic microphones to listen for the specific high-frequency sound of pressurised water escaping from a micro-fracture.Precision Repair: Once the exact location is identified, our skilled plumbing team will carefully access the pipe to perform a targeted, long-lasting water leak repair with minimal disruption to your daily life.Speak to our trace and access specialists today on 01902 953454 to get your hidden leak identified and resolved smoothly.

Why Choose Fact Services for Hidden Leak Detection in Wolverhampton?

The Benefits of Professional Trace and Access

Ignoring a hidden water leak is never a good idea, but neither is letting an inexperienced plumber start dismantling your home on a hunch. Professional trace and access services offer immense practical advantages for homeowners and commercial businesses in Newport.Our non-destructive approach saves you vital time and money. By precisely identifying the problem area before any physical work begins, we eliminate the need for widespread excavation or destructive floor lifting. This drastically reduces the reinstatement costs you would typically face for re-tiling, replastering, or replacing expensive hard flooring.Crucially, early detection using thermal imaging protects your property from severe secondary damage. Prolonged exposure to moisture leads to structural decay, wet rot, and hazardous mould growth. By choosing Fact Services, you are securing a definitive, accurate diagnosis that ultimately protects the safety and long-term value of your property.

"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 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.
