When To Run Hydrostatic Plumbing Tests

There can be a handful of reasons why a water heater is having issues for your home. These issues need to be diagnosed by a licensed plumber to ensure your equipment is repaired correctly.

Suspected Leak

Homeowners may notice stains on walls or ceilings, increased water bills, or the sound of running water when no faucets are open.

Low Water Pressure

Low water pressure throughout the home can also indicate hidden leaks or blockages in the water supply lines.

Aging Plumbing

Older homes with galvanized or corroded pipes could benefit from a hydrostatic test to assess the overall condition of the plumbing system.

Home Inspection or Sale

Prior to moving into a home, the buyer can request a hydrostatic plumbing test to avoid any plumbing issues shortly after the sale.

The Hydrostatic Plumbing Test Process

Isolation

Our process begins with isolating the section of the plumbing system to be tested and ensuring that it is safely depressurized.

Pressure Monitoring

Once prepped, we introduce water or another appropriate testing fluid into the system at a controlled pressure. Over a set duration, we monitor the system for any changes in pressure, confirming that it remains stable within the desired range. If a pressure drop occurs, this indicates a potential leak, and our skilled technicians use sophisticated equipment to pinpoint the exact location of the issue.

Upon completion of the test, we provide a comprehensive report detailing the results and any necessary repairs. At A+ Plumbing, we take pride in our thorough and methodical approach to hydrostatic testing, ensuring the reliability and safety of your plumbing system.
