Hydrostatic Pressure Testing
Depending on the year your home was constructed, there may be several elements to your home’s sewer system. The first step in hydrostatic pressure testing is to find the cleanout. If there isn’t one found, a cleanout will need to be installed to get started. Once that is established, inflatable balls are inserted into the piping and inflated near the perimeter of the foundation. After this, the water levels are monitored to detect leaks. If the water levels drop, there is almost definitely a leak somewhere in the system that will need to be fixed.
Static Isolation Leak Testing
Once hydrostatic testing is complete and a leak is detected, it is time for static isolation leak testing to get an exact location of the leak. This gives the team at ACME Leak Detection the ability to test your sewer system one section at a time until we have located the leak/s. This is a process of elimination. Sometimes there is only one leak and then there are times that there are more than one leak. All of them can be located with static isolation leak testing. Once isolation testing is complete, we have an entire map of your sewer system and can come up with a detailed plan for repairing any problems.
