How Our Thermal Imaging Leak Detection Works

Finding a leak used to mean destructive and costly exploration. Today, our non-destructive testing completely changes the process. When a Fact Services engineer arrives at your Kidderminster property, we conduct a comprehensive thermal survey. Using a high-resolution infrared camera, we scan the suspected areas to identify thermal anomalies caused by escaping moisture.Initial Assessment: We evaluate your heating system, water meter, and visible signs of water ingress.Moisture Mapping: Using thermal imaging, we track the spread of water under floors and behind walls.Pinpoint Accuracy: Where necessary, we support our thermal surveys with acoustic testing or tracer gas to confirm the exact location of the leak.Detailed Reporting: We provide a clear summary of the fault and advise on the most effective, least disruptive repair.Ready to trace a stubborn leak?

The Benefits of Professional Leak Detection

Choosing professional thermal imaging leak detection saves you time, money, and significant stress. The primary advantage is non-destructive testing; we locate heating system leaks and plumbing faults without unnecessary property damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an infrared camera see directly through walls? Thermal imaging cameras do not see through walls in the traditional sense; instead, they detect the surface temperature variations caused by moisture or hot water leaking behind the plaster or floorboards.How long does water leak tracing take? Most domestic thermal imaging leak detection surveys can be completed within a few hours. The exact time depends on the size of the property and the complexity of the heating or water system.Will I still need to dig up my floor to fix the leak? While digging or cutting into walls is sometimes required to physically repair the pipe, thermal imaging ensures we only excavate the exact spot where the leak is located, minimising disruption and repair costs.

What Our Clients Say About Fact Services

"Called Fact Services when our Worcester boiler broke down in the middle of the night. The Gas Safe engineer arrived within the hour, diagnosed the fault immediately, and had our heating back on before morning. Genuine, professional, and very fairly priced. Highly recommend them!"

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.
