How Our Thermal Imaging Leak Detection Works

Finding a hidden leak traditionally meant tearing up floorboards and breaking into plaster. Our modern thermal imaging technology offers a completely non-destructive alternative. Here is how our expert leak tracing process works:Initial Assessment: We evaluate the symptoms, such as boiler pressure loss or visible damp, to understand the likely source of the issue.Infrared Scanning: Using high-resolution thermal imaging cameras, we scan the affected areas. The equipment detects minute temperature differences caused by escaping water or moisture pooling behind surfaces.Precise Pinpointing: By mapping the thermal anomalies, we can accurately locate the exact source of the central heating leak or plumbing failure.Professional Repair & Reporting: Once identified, we provide a clear, insurance-approved report. As Gas Safe engineers, we can also carry out the necessary repairs immediately to restore your system safely.

Frequently Asked Questions About Thermal Leak Detection

Can thermal imaging see through walls?Thermal imaging cameras do not see through walls in the traditional sense. Instead, they detect surface temperature differences caused by moisture or warm water resting behind the plaster or under the floorboards, allowing us to pinpoint the leak's location.Why does my boiler keep losing pressure?A persistent drop in boiler pressure is a classic sign of a hidden leak on your central heating circuit. Our thermal imaging surveys are highly effective at tracing these hidden faults along pipework without causing disruption to your home.Will my home insurance cover the cost of the survey?Many home insurance policies include Trace and Access cover, which often pays for professional leak detection services. We provide comprehensive, insurance-approved reports to help you process your claim smoothly.

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.
