Static Test Plumbing

Static Test Plumbing. Static leak isolation testing is the leak detection process in which we use a combination of sewer video camera pipe inspection and hydrostatic pressure testing to isolate and test different sections or areas of an under slab sanitary sewer system to pinpoint exact locations of water leaks in the system.

Hydrostatic testing also known as static testing is a method of leak detection that involves plugging parts of a plumbing system filling it with water at a certain pressure and then looking for and if need be fixing any leaks that may be present.

Static Testing This test consists of purposefully capping off the main sewer line where it exits the foundation Once the only path of escape is blocked we can fill up the sewer system with water until the water line reaches the level of the slab foundation You can watch the water level for a period of 10 minutes.
