Once you have called on the experts at ACME Leak Detection to perform hydrostatic pressure testing on your home and have failed the test, the next step in the repair process is static isolation leak testing. It is imperative that we find out exactly where the leaks are and what needs to be done to fix them. For instance, there may be more than one leak that needs to be dealt with, and we don’t know where they are without further isolation testing.
Standards of Static Isolation Leak Testing Procedure
When static isolation leak testing is being performed, we are able to pinpoint exactly where the leaks are in the sewer system found beneath your foundation. The first step is to insert inflatable test balls into the existing cleanouts, roof vents and exposed toilet drains. An in-line sewer video camera is often used in this process to map out the layout of the sanitary sewer system and assist with the placement of test balls. Static isolation leak testing should be performed by professionals such as our highly trained professionals at ACME Leak Detection. Once the balls are inserted and inflated, they block off sections of the sewer system so the testing can take place on each isolated section one at a time. This will be done with each section of the entire system until one or multiple leaks have been located. After locating the areas that have leaks, a sewer video camera is used to pinpoint their exact location.
