How Our Thermographic Surveys Work

Our thermographic survey process is designed to be highly accurate, fast, and completely non-disruptive to your daily life. We start by discussing your specific concerns, whether that is a suspected hidden water leak, stubborn damp spots, or general heat loss. Our engineers then use advanced infrared cameras to scan the interior and exterior of your building envelope.We look for temperature anomalies that indicate underlying problems. Cold spots often point to missing insulation, moisture ingress, or draughts, while unexpected hot spots can help us trace central heating pipes under solid floors. This allows for precise water leak detection without the need to lift floorboards or break into walls. Once the inspection is complete, we provide you with clear, practical advice on the best steps to resolve any issues found.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can thermal imaging see through walls?Thermal imaging cameras do not see through walls like an X-ray. Instead, they read the surface temperature of the wall. If there is a cold water leak or a missing patch of insulation behind the plaster, it changes the surface temperature, allowing our cameras to detect the precise shape and location of the issue.Will a damp survey disrupt my home?Not at all. Our infrared damp surveys are completely non-invasive. We simply walk around your property with a handheld thermographic camera, meaning there is no mess, no drilling, and no need to move heavy furniture in most cases.How long does a heat loss survey take?A standard domestic thermal imaging survey typically takes between one to two hours, depending on the size of the property in Blackheath and the specific issues we are investigating.

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."

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.
