How Our Thermal Leak Detection Works

Locating a hidden plumbing or heating leak used to involve guesswork and destructive excavations. Today, our advanced thermal imaging technology changes the game.Initial Assessment: We inspect the suspected area, evaluating your central heating system, hot water services, or underfloor heating networks.Infrared Scanning: Using high-resolution thermal cameras, we scan your floors, walls, and ceilings. The technology reads the heat signatures of water, mapping out cold damp spots or escaping hot water behind plasterwork and beneath solid screed floors.Pinpoint Accuracy: We locate the exact source of the leak, allowing our engineers to isolate the fault quickly and safely.Once the source is verified, we can immediately advise on the most effective, low-impact repair strategy for your Rugeley property.

What Our Clients Say About Fact Services

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.
