When it comes to your residential and commercial pipelines, you deserve peace of mind knowing they’ll provide consistent reliability. The pressure in pipelines can sometimes reach extreme levels, so it’s important to make sure they’re up to the task. That’s where we come in.

A hydrostatic plumbing test is used to check for leaky pipes or any breaks in the system. It helps find any problems that need repair under your slab that may not be visible or obvious.

O’Bryan Plumbing Services offers comprehensive hydrostatic testing services tailored to suit your unique plumbing needs. Our experienced technicians will work with you as we perform various tests to determine and verify the overall strength of your system.

We’ll ensure your pipes are under the proper pressure for your plumbing system to function efficiently and there are no leaks that need repair.

When Should a Hydrostatic Test Be Performed?

Hydrostatic tests are performed to determine if there are leaks or cracks in a building’s foundation or during the inspection process for a home purchase. If you notice any of the following signs, there may be a leak in your foundation:

  • Cracks in your home’s foundation
  • Loss of water pressure
  • Damp or discolored flooring
  • Unusual increase in your water bills

Make sure your pipes don’t have any weak points by trusting our team to test your system safely. Contact us today at 972-727-6364 to learn more.

The Process of Hydrostatic Testing

To perform a hydrostatic plumbing test, we put a test ball in the main sewer line outside the home and inflate it to block the line. We then apply the appropriate amount of pressure to the system and look for various identifiers that point to a potential issue in the plumbing system.

If the water level drops, it’s a sign you have a leak. The bigger the water drop, the more significant the leak. Once testing is complete, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive report and our recommended next steps.

If your pipes have any issues, a hydrostatic test can help us identify them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hydrostatic Testing

What is hydrostatic testing?

A hydrostatic test is an approved way to test the structural integrity of a compressed gas container, such as your pipelines.

How is hydrostatic testing performed?

Hydrostatic testing is performed by removing the valve, filling the container with water, and then pressuring the container above its operating limit. The expansion of the pressurized cylinder is measured, recorded, and analyzed.

What happens if the hydrostatic test fails?

If the pressurized cylinder expands beyond certain limits and fails the hydrostatic test, a test report will be given to the customer, and the cylinder must be destroyed.
