How Our Infrared Water Leak Tracing Works

Finding a leak underground or behind plasterboard used to require guesswork and invasive excavation. Today, our advanced thermal imaging technology takes the uncertainty out of central heating leak repair and general plumbing diagnostics.Our highly trained engineers use high-resolution thermal cameras to detect minute temperature variances caused by escaping water. Because water alters the thermal conductivity of surrounding building materials, a distinct heat signature becomes clearly visible on our screens.Comprehensive Site Assessment: We evaluate your plumbing and heating setup to identify the likely source area without causing any disruption.Thermal Scanning: We carefully sweep the suspected zones, looking through solid floors, walls, and ceilings with infrared technology.Pinpoint Accuracy: The infrared water leak tracing process isolates the exact defect to within a few centimetres.Actionable Repair Plan: Once located, we provide a clear, jargon-free strategy to access and repair the pipework safely and efficiently.

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!"

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.
