Hydrostatic testing uses water pressure to evaluate a plumbing or sewer system for leaks or loss of pressure. It can be useful when investigating suspected underground leaks, sewer line problems, or other conditions where pressure testing is appropriate.

H2O Backflow & Plumbing evaluates the system and performs hydrostatic testing when appropriate for the type of plumbing or sewer system being tested.

• Potential leaks in plumbing systems
• Sewer line leaks
• Underground piping problems
• Loss of pressure
• Problems with sewer line sections
• Conditions requiring further investigation

Hydrostatic testing can be used in different residential and commercial plumbing situations when a pressure test is appropriate. H2O Backflow & Plumbing provides testing for homeowners, property managers, businesses, and other properties throughout East DFW and surrounding communities.

Residential testing may be recommended when investigating suspected leaks, plumbing problems, or conditions involving underground or concealed piping. We evaluate the situation and determine whether hydrostatic testing is an appropriate diagnostic step.

Commercial plumbing systems can involve larger or more complex piping networks. Hydrostatic testing may help identify pressure loss or potential leaks when troubleshooting certain plumbing or sewer conditions.

• Suspected underground plumbing leak
• Suspected sewer line leak
• Pressure loss within a testable system
• New or repaired piping requiring testing
• Troubleshooting concealed plumbing
• Investigating recurring plumbing problems
• Verifying whether a plumbing or sewer line holds pressure

The testing process depends on the type of plumbing or sewer system being evaluated and the reason for the test. H2O Backflow & Plumbing first evaluates the system and determines the appropriate testing method.

• Identify the plumbing or sewer section being tested
• Isolate the applicable section of the system
• Fill the test section with water
• Apply the appropriate test pressure
• Monitor the system for pressure loss
• Inspect for signs of leakage when accessible
• Document the test results
• Recommend additional diagnostics or repairs when necessary

A pressure loss does not always identify the exact location or cause of a leak by itself. Additional testing, camera inspection, or other diagnostic methods may be recommended when necessary to locate the source of a problem.

After testing, we explain the results and discuss any recommended next steps. If a leak or other problem is identified, we can help determine whether additional plumbing or sewer services are needed.

Hydrostatic testing can be useful when investigating certain plumbing and sewer conditions where a system needs to be evaluated for leaks or pressure loss. H2O Backflow & Plumbing can help determine whether pressure testing is appropriate based on the type of piping and the problem being investigated.

When a plumbing system has a suspected concealed or underground leak, pressure testing may be one part of the diagnostic process. We evaluate the system and use appropriate testing methods to help determine whether the system is holding pressure.

Hydrostatic testing may also be appropriate for certain sewer line investigations. Testing can help determine whether a testable section of the sewer system is holding water or experiencing a loss that requires further investigation.

• Suspected underground leaks
• Suspected sewer line leaks
• New plumbing installations
• Repaired plumbing systems
• Sewer line repairs
• Troubleshooting concealed piping
• Investigating unexplained water loss
• Verifying a repaired section of piping

What is hydrostatic testing?

Hydrostatic testing uses water and controlled pressure to evaluate a testable plumbing or sewer system for pressure loss and potential leak's

Why would I need a hydrostatic test?

A hydrostatic test may be recommended when investigating suspected plumbing or sewer leaks, pressure loss, underground piping problems, or certain new or repaired plumbing systems.

Can hydrostatic testing find a plumbing leak?

It can help determine whether a testable section of a plumbing system is holding pressure. Additional diagnostic methods may be needed to locate the exact source of a leak.

Can you hydrostatic test a sewer line?

Yes, hydrostatic testing may be appropriate for certain sewer line investigations. The specific testing method depends on the condition and configuration of the sewer system.

What happens if the system fails the hydrostatic test?

A failed test indicates that the test section is not holding the expected pressure or water level. Additional diagnostics may be needed to determine the cause and location of the problem.

Can you repair the problem after testing?

When appropriate, H2O Backflow & Plumbing can discuss available plumbing or sewer repair options based on the test results and condition of the system.

Do you provide hydrostatic testing for commercial properties?

Yes. We provide applicable hydrostatic testing and related plumbing or sewer diagnostic services for residential and commercial properties.
