try this in web.config where the services are configured.

XML

<system.diagnostics>
    <sources>
      <source name="System.ServiceModel" switchValue="Verbose,ActivityTracing" propagateActivity="true">
        <listeners>
          <add type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener" name="Default">
            <filter type=""/>
          </add>
          <add name="ServiceModelTraceListener">
            <filter type=""/>
          </add>
        </listeners>
      </source>
    </sources>
    <sharedListeners>
      <add initializeData="C:\\Users\\santhosh.kumar\\Desktop\\LS Evaluations\\Logs" type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" name="ServiceModelTraceListener" traceOutputOptions="Timestamp">
        <filter type=""/>
      </add>
    </sharedListeners>
  </system.diagnostics>

and in your service behaviors add the below line.
<servicedebug includeexceptiondetailinfaults="true">

Sample:

XML

<behavior name="UtilityServiceBehavior">
         <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
         <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
       </behavior>
