How Our Underground Leak Detection Works

When you book a trace and access service in Rowley Regis with Fact Services, our primary goal is finding the exact source of the problem with minimal disruption to your daily life and property. We follow a highly systematic, technical approach to accurately diagnose and locate underground water faults.Initial Diagnostic Assessment: We begin by discussing the symptoms you have noticed, such as a drop in central heating pressure, a spinning water meter, or pooling water on your grounds.Advanced Non-Invasive Scanning: Using a combination of thermal imaging technology, highly sensitive acoustic listening discs, and tracer gas, our West Midlands leak specialists scan the suspected areas. This state-of-the-art equipment allows us to visualise temperature anomalies and hear the exact high-frequency hiss of escaping water underground.Precise Pinpointing: Once the leak is found, we mark the exact location on the surface. This targeted approach means that if excavation is required for a water mains repair, it is restricted to a very small, specific area.Action Plan & Professional Repair: We provide a full diagnostic overview and discuss the most effective steps for repair, ensuring your water system is restored safely and efficiently.

"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.
