How Our Underground Leak Detection Works

Finding a subterranean water leak used to mean destructive digging and lifting floors blindly. Our modern trace and access service removes the guesswork. When our highly trained engineers arrive at your Tamworth property, they follow a systematic, non-destructive diagnostic process.Acoustic Sensor Tracing: We use highly sensitive acoustic listening devices to detect the precise sound frequencies of water escaping from pressurised underground mains and heating pipes.Thermal Imaging Surveys: By employing advanced infrared cameras, we can track the flow of hidden hot water pipes and identify abnormal temperature signatures beneath concrete floors or driveways.Tracer Gas Testing: For incredibly difficult-to-find subterranean leaks, we safely introduce a harmless gas into the pipework. This gas escapes at the leak source and rises through the ground, where our specialised sensors detect it.Once the exact location is identified, we provide a clear plan for access and repair, ensuring minimal disruption to your home or business.

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

"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.
