How Our Leak Detection Service Works

Our trace and access process begins with a comprehensive survey using professional-grade thermal imaging cameras. These advanced infrared devices detect minute temperature variations on surfaces that remain completely invisible to the naked eye.When a hot or cold pipe leaks, it creates a distinct thermal signature as the water escapes and spreads. By reading these complex heat patterns, our experts can track the origin of the leak behind plasterboard, under solid concrete floors, or within enclosed ceiling cavities.To ensure a definitive diagnosis without causing unnecessary damage to your property, we frequently combine infrared technology with acoustic listening equipment and sensitive moisture meters. This multi-tool approach allows us to confidently identify the root cause before any repair work begins.

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.
