Hydrostatic Pressure Testing

One of the most effective ways we have found to test your home or leaks under your foundation is with hydrostatic pressure testing. For the experts at ACME Leak Detection to perform this testing, we need to locate the sewer cleanout. If we can’t find one, we will have to install one to complete the testing. Once we have located or installed this cleanout, we will insert inflatable test balls to begin the test. These balls are used to block the main sewer line and detect any leaks that may be present. With the use of these test balls in combination with sewer pipe video cameras, we are able to test the water levels for any signs of leaking. We will monitor the water levels for up to 15 minutes to see if they remain the same or start to lower. If the water level lowers, we know that there is certainly a leak somewhere.

Static Leak Isolation Testing

Once hydrostatic testing is complete, it is essential for us to find where the leak is so that our team of highly trained specialists can come up with a repair proposal. With static leak isolation testing we are able to only test sections of your sewer system at a time so that we can pinpoint the exact area/s that have leaking pipes. The in-line video camera is used to assist in the placement of inflatable balls so that the entire system can be properly mapped out. Once the leaks have been explored and located, ACME Leak Detection will come up with a repair proposal to solve the issues that were discovered.

Slab Leak Detection

There are a few methods that are used to detect any slab leaks that may be present in your foundation. Not only will the experts at ACME Leak Detection use electronic listening to detect any leaks, but line tracing equipment, camera pipe inspection and static pressure testing to get the job done. This is the most effective way of finding sub-slab plumbing leaks. Our reports will be detailed and thorough so you know exactly what is going on down there. Signs of slab leaks include the presence of cracked pavement and foul odors.

Slab Foundation Repair
