How Our Underground Leak Detection Works

When you book a trace and access Tipton service with Fact Services, we take a systematic, technology-led approach to find the source of the problem. Our goal is to locate the leak with absolute precision and minimal disruption to your home or business premises.1. Initial Assessment & Pressure Testing: We begin by discussing the symptoms, such as pressure loss or water pooling, and perform pressure tests on your water mains to confirm a leak exists.2. Advanced Non-Invasive Diagnostics: Using state-of-the-art pipe locating services, acoustic ground microphones, and thermal imaging leak detection cameras, we scan your underground pipework. This allows our engineers to map out the hidden system and detect temperature anomalies or escaping water sounds.3. Pinpoint Accuracy: We isolate the exact location of the leak, meaning we only ever need to excavate the precise area required for the repair.4. Professional Water Mains Repair: Once the leak is found, our experienced plumbers provide a full, compliant repair to restore your water supply 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.
