How Our Thermal Imaging Surveys Work

We believe in a transparent, consultative approach to building diagnostics. When you book an infrared inspection with Fact Services, we follow a meticulous step-by-step process to ensure no defect goes unnoticed.Step 1: Initial Consultation and Environmental SetupOur qualified technician will first discuss the specific issues you are facing, whether that is a suspected hidden water leak under a solid floor, or general property draughts causing high heating bills. We then prepare the environment. For the most accurate heat loss surveys, we ensure your central heating infrastructure is running at an optimum level to create a clear temperature differential for our thermal cameras.Step 2: The Infrared Diagnostic InspectionUsing state-of-the-art thermal imaging equipment, we systematically scan the affected areas of your property. We carefully assess floors, ceilings, external walls, and plumbing networks. This non-destructive testing allows us to see exactly where heat is escaping, where insulation defects lie, or where cold moisture is gathering behind solid brickwork and plaster.Step 3: Comprehensive Reporting and Next StepsOnce the thermal camera survey is complete, we provide a detailed, easy-to-understand explanation of our findings. Because we are fully qualified heating and plumbing engineers, we can immediately recommend the most effective solutions and quote for the necessary repairs, whether that involves fixing a leaking water pipe or upgrading your home energy efficiency.

The Benefits of Professional Thermal Imaging

Guesswork in plumbing and heating repairs can lead to unnecessary property damage and expensive, disruptive exploratory work. Professional thermal imaging removes the uncertainty entirely.By opting for a thermal camera survey, you benefit from completely non-destructive testing. There is no need to lift expensive flooring, dig up driveways, or dismantle walls just to find a weeping pipe. We can trace the precise location of hidden leaks and damp spots with pinpoint accuracy, meaning any necessary repair work is highly targeted and far less messy.Additionally, a professional heat loss survey is one of the most effective ways to significantly improve your property's energy efficiency. Our equipment clearly highlights missing cavity wall insulation, poorly fitted windows, draughty skirting boards, and even electrical hotspots. By identifying and rectifying these inefficiencies, homeowners and commercial businesses in Bilston can dramatically reduce their monthly heating bills. Prepare your heating system before winter sets in and stop paying for wasted heat. Call our team today on 01902 953454 for a rapid response.

Frequently Asked Questions About Thermal Inspections

Can thermal imaging cameras see directly through walls?No, thermal cameras do not have x-ray vision and cannot see through solid objects. Instead, they measure the exact surface temperature of the wall or floor. If a hot water pipe is leaking behind the plasterboard, the heat transfers to the wall's surface, allowing our equipment to detect the shape and exact location of the hidden moisture.How long does a typical heat loss survey take?The duration varies depending on the size of your property and the complexity of the suspected issue. A targeted leak detection survey in a single bathroom might take just an hour, whereas a full home energy efficiency inspection across a large detached house can take several hours to ensure every room and heating component is thoroughly assessed.Do you repair the plumbing or heating faults you find during the survey?Yes, absolutely. Unlike standalone surveying companies that simply hand over a report, Fact Services consists of fully qualified emergency plumbers and gas engineers. Once we locate a hidden leak, a radiator cold spot, or a faulty commercial boiler component, we can seamlessly transition into providing the necessary repair work.Is infrared thermography safe for my family and pets?Yes, thermal imaging is a completely passive and safe technology. It does not emit any radiation or harmful signals; it simply reads the natural infrared energy that is already radiating from your property and its internal systems.

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.
