Common Questions About Thermal Leak Detection?

What is trace and access?Trace and access is a term often used in home insurance policies. It refers to the process of locating a hidden leak (trace) and safely exposing it for repair (access). Our thermal imaging service provides the 'trace' element without causing damage, which is highly favoured by insurance providers.Will thermal imaging cause damage to my floors?Not at all. The primary advantage of an infrared camera is that it is completely non-invasive. We read the heat signatures radiating through your floors and walls, meaning we do not need to lift tiles or floorboards just to find the leak.Can thermal imaging find cold water leaks?Yes. While it is highly effective at tracking hot water from central heating and underfloor systems, thermal cameras also detect the temperature drop caused by cold water leaks, helping us identify hidden damp spots and pooling water.

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.
