Our diagnostic process is designed to be completely non-invasive, highly accurate, and reassuring for property owners. Here is the step-by-step approach you can expect when you book an infrared inspection with our dedicated local team.Initial Consultation: We begin by discussing your specific concerns, whether you suspect a hidden underground pipe leak, ongoing damp issues, or general heat loss across the property.Infrared Scanning: Using industry-leading thermal imaging cameras, our skilled engineers conduct a thorough, methodical sweep of the affected area or the entire building structure.Real-Time Analysis: The highly sensitive equipment detects minute surface temperature differences. This allows us to instantly identify thermal bridges, concealed water ingress, or inefficient radiators that are failing to heat up correctly.Actionable Insights: We guide you through our findings clearly and transparently, followed by professional recommendations for targeted repairs or energy-saving improvements.By accurately mapping out the exact location of a fault, we ensure that any subsequent plumbing or heating repair work is precise, effective, and minimally disruptive to your daily routine.

Frequently Asked Questions About Thermal Imaging

Can thermal imaging cameras see directly through walls?Thermal cameras do not technically see through solid objects like walls or flooring. Instead, they detect the surface temperature of the material. If there is a hidden water leak or missing insulation behind the plasterboard, it subtly changes the surface temperature, which our highly sensitive cameras capture and display with incredible precision.How long does a typical home heat loss survey take?A standard domestic thermal imaging survey takes between one and two hours, depending entirely on the size of the property in Sedgley. We ensure a meticulous scan of all necessary rooms, floors, and central heating components to provide a complete picture of your home efficiency.Is infrared thermal imaging completely safe?Yes, it is entirely safe for you, your family, and your pets. Infrared thermography is a passive, non-destructive testing method that emits absolutely no harmful radiation. It simply reads the heat signatures naturally radiating from your property surfaces.If you have any further questions regarding our diagnostic services, please call our friendly team on 01902 953454.

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.
