How Our Underground Leak Detection Works

Our approach to finding hidden leaks is methodical, relying on state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to locate the exact source of the problem. This means we avoid unnecessary digging or disruption to your Broseley property.Acoustic Leak Tracing: We use highly sensitive acoustic listening devices to detect the specific high-frequency sound of water escaping from pressurised underground pipes, even through thick concrete or tarmac.Thermal Imaging: For underground heating pipes and hot water feeds, our thermal imaging cameras detect subtle temperature anomalies and map the heat signatures beneath your floors, allowing for precise moisture mapping.Tracer Gas Testing: In complex cases, we safely introduce an inert tracer gas into the empty water line. As the gas escapes through the leak and rises to the surface, our specialised sensors pinpoint the exact location.Trace and Access Reports: Once the leak is found, we provide comprehensive documentation detailing the fault and our findings. This detailed report is invaluable for home insurance claims under "trace and access" cover.

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

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our underground leak detection services in Wolverhampton & West Midlands

How do I know if I have an underground leak?

+

The most common signs include a damp patch on the ground during dry weather, a noticeable drop in water pressure, or the sound of running water when all taps are turned off. If you have a water meter, turn off all appliances and check the dial. If it is still moving, you almost certainly have a leak.

Will you have to dig up my whole floor?

+

No. The whole point of our "trace and access" service is to avoid that. We use technology to find the exact spot. Usually, we only need to remove one or two floor tiles or a small section of floorboard to reach the pipe and fix it.

Is underground leak detection covered by my insurance?

+

Many buildings insurance policies include "Trace and Access" cover. This pays for the cost of finding the leak and getting to it. We recommend checking your policy documents or calling your provider. We can provide the technical reports they usually require.

Can you find leaks under concrete driveways?

+

Yes. Our acoustic equipment and tracer gas methods are specifically designed to find leaks through thick surfaces like concrete, tarmac, and paving slabs.
