Frequently Asked Questions About Thermal Imaging

Can infrared cameras see through walls?No, thermal imaging cameras cannot see directly through walls or solid objects. Instead, they detect subtle temperature differences on the surface of the wall, which reliably indicate what is happening behind it, such as a hidden leak cooling the plaster or missing insulation causing a cold spot.Will a heat loss survey help lower my energy bills?Yes. A heat loss survey accurately identifies where your property is losing warmth, such as through poorly insulated roofs, draughty windows, or inefficient radiators. Armed with this information, you can make targeted improvements to boost your energy efficiency and reduce heating costs.How long does a damp detection survey take?The duration depends on the size of the property and the complexity of the issue. A targeted survey for a single room may take around an hour, whereas a full-property moisture mapping and leak detection survey will take longer. We always work efficiently to minimise disruption to your day.

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."

David R. / Birmingham

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional thermal imaging and leak detection services in Wolverhampton & West Midlands and across the West Midlands.

Can thermal imaging find a water leak under my floor?

+

Yes, it is one of the best tools for this. If you have a leak in a hot water pipe or an underfloor heating system, the heat from the escaping water spreads through the flooring material. Our cameras see this "heat signature," allowing us to identify the leak's location without any digging.

What is the best time of year to have a thermal survey?

+

While we can find leaks year-round, the best time for a heat loss survey is during the colder months (typically October to April). This is because we need a significant difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures to see clearly how the building is losing heat.

How long does a typical survey take?

+

For a standard three-bedroom house in Wolverhampton, a survey usually takes between 1 and 2 hours. This gives us enough time to scan all rooms, check the loft space, and inspect the exterior of the property.

Do I need to do anything before the surveyor arrives?

+

To get the best results, we recommend turning your heating on a few hours before we arrive to make sure the building is thoroughly warmed through. We also ask that you clear any clutter away from external walls or radiator areas so we have a clear line of sight for the camera.

Will I get a written report after the visit?

+

Yes. We provide a detailed report that includes the thermal images captured during the visit, along with an explanation of what those images mean and our expert recommendations for any necessary repairs or improvements.
