How Our Advanced Thermal Imaging Works

Our diagnostic process is entirely non-invasive and designed to provide absolute clarity. When our engineers arrive at your property, we use high-resolution thermographic cameras to scan walls, floors, and ceilings. This advanced equipment detects minute temperature variations, allowing us to effectively 'see' through building materials.Through precise thermal data analysis, we can instantly spot missing insulation, trace the path of an underground leak, or locate a blockage in your central heating system. Instead of disruptive digging or drilling, you receive a detailed, accurate map of what is happening beneath the surface, saving you time, stress, and unnecessary repair costs.

What Our Clients Say About Fact Services

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.
