How Our Underground Leak Detection Works

Locating a water pipe leak beneath concrete, tarmac, or soil requires highly specialised technology. Our water pipe tracing process is designed to be as non-invasive as possible, pinpointing the exact source of the issue before any excavation begins.First, we deploy acoustic leak detection equipment to listen for the distinct sound frequencies created by escaping water deep underground. If the leak is particularly small or hard to trace, we use tracer gas. This safe, non-toxic gas is introduced into your drained pipework and rises to the surface, allowing our highly sensitive detectors to locate the breach.We also utilise advanced thermal moisture sensors and infrared thermal imaging to map out hidden moisture patterns. This multi-layered approach ensures we find the leak with absolute precision, keeping disruption to an absolute minimum.

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.
