How Our Thermal Imaging Leak Detection Works

Our comprehensive leak detection process is designed to remove the guesswork from plumbing and heating emergencies. We begin with a thorough visual inspection of the property to understand the symptoms, whether it is a pressure loss on your combi boiler or visible moisture in the ceiling.Next, we deploy advanced infrared cameras that read minute temperature variations in your walls and floors. Hot water leaks from heating systems appear as distinct thermal signatures, while cold water leaks often present as unusually cool, damp patches. To guarantee complete accuracy, we frequently combine thermal imaging with moisture mapping and acoustic testing.Once the exact source of the leak is traced, our experts provide a clear diagnosis and a precise action plan for repair, ensuring minimal disruption to your home or commercial premises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an infrared camera see through walls?Infrared cameras do not actually see through walls; rather, they detect the surface temperature variations caused by the presence of water or heat behind the plasterboard. This allows us to accurately map out the location of a concealed leak without drilling.Will thermal imaging find a cold water leak?Yes. While hot water heating system leaks show up as bright heat signatures, cold mains water creates distinct cool spots and moisture patterns that our sensitive thermal cameras can easily detect.How long does a thermal leak detection survey take?Most residential leak detection surveys take between one to three hours, depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the plumbing network. Once completed, we provide a detailed explanation of the fault and the best method for repair.

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 thermal imaging leak detection services in Wolverhampton & West Midlands

Can thermal imaging see through solid walls?

+

Thermal cameras do not "see through" objects like X-ray machines. Instead, they see the heat signatures on the surface of the wall. If a pipe is leaking behind the plaster, the water changes the temperature of that plaster. Our cameras pick up that temperature change, allowing us to map out the leak’s shape and location.

How long does a thermal leak detection survey take?

+

Most domestic surveys in Wolverhampton take between one and three hours, depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the plumbing. We carry out a thorough check of all visible and hidden pipework to make sure we haven't missed a secondary issue.

Will my insurance pay for this service?

+

Most standard UK buildings insurance policies include "Trace and Access" cover. This specifically covers the cost of hiring professionals like Fact Services to find the source of a leak. We recommend checking your policy, but we can provide the professional reports you need to support your claim.

Can you find leaks in underfloor heating?

+

Yes, this is one of the most common uses for our thermal cameras. We can see the entire layout of your underfloor heating pipes through the floor finish. If there is a leak, it usually shows up as a bright, fuzzy "hot spot" where the water is escaping and pooling under the floor.

Does thermal imaging work for damp as well?

+

It is an excellent tool for damp detection. It helps us distinguish between a "wet" leak (like a burst pipe) and "cold" damp (like penetrating rain or rising damp). We can track moisture patterns to see how far damp has spread into your structural timbers or masonry.
