How Our Underground Leak Detection Works

When you contact Fact Services, our priority is to locate the problem quickly, accurately, and with minimal disruption to your home or business. We begin with a comprehensive site survey, assessing your water systems and discussing any symptoms you have noticed, such as dropping water pressure or unusually damp ground.Our engineers then deploy advanced water leak tracing equipment. By using highly sensitive acoustic leak sensors and ground microphones, we can listen for the distinct frequencies of escaping water deep beneath the surface. Where applicable, we also utilise thermal imaging leak detection to identify temperature anomalies caused by hidden moisture.Once the exact location is identified, we present a clear, targeted burst pipe repair plan. Because we know exactly where the fault lies, any necessary excavation is kept to an absolute minimum, protecting your driveway, landscaping, or internal flooring from widespread damage.

"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!"

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.
