The Benefits of a Professional Thermal Imaging Survey

Investing in a professional thermal imaging survey offers immediate and long-term advantages for your property, saving you both time and money.Non-Destructive Testing: Traditional leak detection often involves tearing up flooring or cutting into walls. Thermal imaging is entirely non-invasive, preserving your home's interior and preventing unnecessary repair bills.Accurate Heat Loss Detection: Identify exactly where your home is losing heat. Pinpointing draughts and missing insulation allows you to make targeted improvements, significantly reducing your winter energy bills.Early Damp and Moisture Detection: We can spot moisture ingress before it becomes visible to the naked eye, allowing you to stop damp and mould growth before it causes severe structural damage.Boiler and Radiator Efficiency: Our surveys include checking your heating system for cold spots and blockages, ensuring your central heating is running at peak performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Thermal Surveys

Can thermal imaging detect a water leak underground? Yes, infrared thermography is highly effective at underground leak detection. By identifying the temperature differences caused by escaping hot or cold water, we can pinpoint the leak's location without digging up your driveway or floors.How long does a thermal imaging survey take? A standard domestic survey usually takes between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the size of the property and the specific issues being investigated. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your day.Do I need to prepare my house for a heat loss survey? For the best results, we recommend turning your heating on to a normal temperature a few hours before we arrive. A good temperature difference between the inside and outside of your property makes thermal anomalies much easier to spot.

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.
