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 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.
