How Our Non-Destructive Leak Detection Works

Finding a central heating leak or plumbing fault used to mean pulling up perfectly good flooring, lifting carpets, and breaking through plaster just to trace a pipe. Modern thermal imaging completely transforms this process. We use high-resolution infrared cameras to detect the heat radiating from water within your property's fabric.Initial Assessment: We begin by checking your boiler pressure, assessing water meters, and visually inspecting the suspected areas to narrow down the potential source.Infrared Scanning: We sweep the property with advanced thermal imaging cameras. These sensitive devices identify warm or cold anomalies, highlighting hidden pipework and trapped moisture beneath the surface.Pinpointing the Fault: By carefully interpreting the thermal signatures, our engineers locate the precise point of failure, even if the water has travelled a significant distance from the actual leak.Targeted Repair: Once the exact location is identified, we only expose the specific area needed to fix the leak, drastically minimising disruption to your home.Speak to our Gas Safe engineers today on 01902 953454 to experience a smarter, cleaner way to find hidden plumbing faults.

Following our survey, we can provide you with a detailed report which you may submit to your insurer to help claim back the costs of finding the hidden leak.Is the leak detection process messy or noisy?Not at all.

"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.
