How Our Thermal Imaging Process Works

Our non-destructive diagnostic process is designed to find faults quickly and accurately, causing zero disruption to your property. Here is what you can expect when you book a thermal imaging survey with Fact Services:Detailed Site Walkthrough: We begin by understanding your specific concerns, whether that involves a drop in boiler pressure, cold spots on walls, or unexpectedly high heating bills.Infrared Scanning: Using high-resolution thermographic cameras, we systematically map the affected areas. This technology detects minute temperature differences, allowing us to see thermal anomalies like hidden water leaks, missing insulation, or blocked radiators.Moisture Mapping & Analysis: For suspected damp issues in your Bloxwich property, we trace the moisture ingress back to its exact source, distinguishing between rising damp, penetrating damp, and simple condensation.Comprehensive Reporting: Once the survey is complete, we provide you with a clear explanation of our findings and recommend the most effective, targeted repairs to solve the issue permanently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can thermal imaging see through walls? No, infrared cameras do not see directly 'through' solid objects like an X-ray. Instead, they detect the surface temperature of the wall or floor. A hidden water leak, draught, or missing insulation changes that surface temperature, allowing us to accurately identify the problem area behind the plaster.How long does a heat loss survey take? A standard domestic survey usually takes between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the size of your property in Bloxwich and the complexity of the issue being investigated.Does thermography help find plumbing leaks? Yes, it is one of the most effective methods for hidden leak detection available. We can trace hot and cold water pipes under concrete floors and behind tiled bathroom walls to pinpoint exactly where the water is escaping, allowing for minimal disruption during repairs.Is a thermal imaging survey worth the cost? Absolutely. By identifying the exact location of a leak or draught, you prevent destructive exploratory work, saving substantial amounts on repair bills, re-plastering, and redecorating.

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.
