How Our Infrared Leak Detection Works

Traditional leak finding often involves a costly process of trial-and-error excavation. Our infrared water leak tracing removes this guesswork completely. When a Fact Services engineer arrives at your property, we conduct a systematic scan of the affected area using high-resolution thermal imaging cameras. These sensitive devices detect the subtle temperature differences caused by escaping water, whether from a hot heating pipe or a cold mains feed.Once we identify the precise location of the moisture, we verify the source using our deep technical knowledge of domestic and commercial water systems. As Gas Safe Registered engineers (Registration No: 149167), we are exceptionally well-equipped to diagnose issues within complex central heating networks and boiler pipework. We will then provide you with a clear, honest assessment of the problem and recommend the most effective, least disruptive repair solution.

Because our technology can read temperatures through most building materials, we completely avoid unnecessary destruction to your tiling, wet rooms, or newly decorated walls. We only expose the exact area where the repair is needed.Early moisture detection also helps to prevent long-term structural decay, dangerous mould growth, and costly secondary damage to your property.

Frequently Asked Questions About Thermal Tracing

Can you detect leaks in central heating systems?Yes, central heating networks are one of the most common sources of hidden leaks. If your boiler is constantly losing pressure, our thermal imaging cameras can track the underground or internal pipework to find the exact point of the pressure loss.Will the thermal imaging survey cause any damage?Not at all. Infrared leak detection is completely non-destructive. The camera simply reads the surface temperatures of your walls and floors. We only need to access the pipework once the precise location of the leak has been confirmed.Can thermal imaging detect cold water leaks?Yes. While hot water leaks show up as bright heat signatures, cold water leaks create distinct cool spots on the thermal imagery. Our advanced equipment is sensitive enough to detect these subtle temperature anomalies.

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 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.
