How Our Thermal Trace and Access Works

Finding a leak used to mean causing significant damage to a property by ripping up tiles or lifting floorboards on a hunch. Today, our thermal imaging leak detection relies on precision technology. Here is how our process works:Initial Assessment: We discuss your symptoms, such as damp spots, constantly low boiler pressure, or faint hissing sounds within your walls.Infrared Camera Survey: We scan the affected areas using high-resolution thermal imaging cameras. These cameras detect minute temperature differentials caused by escaping warm water or cold moisture patterns that are completely invisible to the naked eye.Pinpointing the Source: The thermal survey reveals the exact location of the pipework and the specific point of failure.Targeted Repair: Because we know exactly where the leak is, our engineers can perform a precise, targeted repair with minimal disruption to your home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Thermal Leak Detection

Can a thermal imaging camera see through walls?No, thermal cameras do not magically see through solid objects. Instead, they detect the surface temperature of the wall or floor. When a hidden pipe leaks, it alters the temperature of the surrounding building materials. Our cameras detect these subtle temperature differentials, allowing us to map out the moisture pattern behind the wall.Will my home insurance cover the cost of leak detection?Many comprehensive home insurance policies include Trace and Access cover, which is specifically designed to pay for the cost of locating a hidden leak. We provide detailed professional thermal imaging reports that you can easily present to your insurer to support your claim.How long does a thermal leak detection survey take?Most residential leak detection surveys can be completed within 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the internal plumbing system. Because the process is entirely non-destructive, it is fast, clean, and highly efficient.

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.
