Hydrostatic Test

• Hydrostatic testing is the most effective method in determining if you have any leaks on your sewer system.
• Hydrostatic testing is a common requirement when it comes to foundation repairs.
• A constant need for drain cleaning is often a prerequisite for a hydrostatic test. If the test fails, that means there is a break somewhere on your system and a camera inspection is likely the next step. 
• For peace of mind that your sanitary drain lines are in good working condition.

• The sewer system is put on test using water to gauge whether or not the system is in good standing. A test ball is inserted into the cleanouts, placing the system under pressure. If the water level drops, it is deemed that the system has a failure meaning there is a possible break or separation of some kind. 
• It is important to note that there must be cleanout(s) on your property for this test to be performed.

• A hydrostatic test is used to test the integrity of your sewer system
• A pressure test is used to test the integrity of your potable water system
