What Is Hydrostatic Pressure Testing 

A key method for sewer leak detection, hydrostatic pressure testing blocks off sections of your sanitary sewer system to test water pressure. The process begins with a video camera inspection to assess the sewer system. If the footage suggests possible leaks or weaknesses, our team moves forward with hydrostatic pressure testing.

How Does Hydrostatic Pressure Testing Detect Sewer Leaks

First, we block off certain sections of the sewer system with inflatable test balls. This lets us isolate the exact area we need to check without disturbing the rest of your plumbing.  

Once the section is sealed, we carefully fill the pipes with water up to the level of the lowest drain in your home. From there, we monitor the water level closely. 

If the water stays steady, your system is in good shape. But if it drops quickly or doesn’t reach the right level to begin with, low pressure is a clear sign that there may be a hidden leak or structural issue in your sewer lines.  

Hydrostatic pressure testing is a non-invasive diagnostic method, meaning we don’t have to tear up your yard or floors to find the problem. Instead, you get a precise diagnosis before a small leak turns into foundation damage, mold growth, or costly repairs down the road. 

This testing gives our licensed plumbers a clear picture of your sewer system’s condition without unnecessary excavation. Our diagnosis allows us to recommend the right repair solution the first time. 

Early Sewer Leak Detection & Preventative Diagnostics 

Sewer and water line problems often remain hidden until they cause serious damage. In the Hill Country, shifting soil and aging sewer systems put pressure on your plumbing system. Early sewer leak detection can save property owners thousands before issues escalate. 

Benefits of early detection include: 

  • Preventing foundation damage 
  • Reducing water bills 
  • Avoiding foul odors, mold growth, and sewer backups 
  • Protecting your property value  
  • Keeping your home or business running smoothly 

Additional Leak Detection Methods

Underground plumbing problems aren’t as simple as spotting a clogged pipe or dripping faucet. That’s why Accurate Leak and Line uses a combination of advanced tools and proven methods to diagnose sewer and water line issues with precision. Here’s how we find the problem without unnecessary excavation:

Our first step is a video camera inspection using infrared technology. This allows us to see inside your sewer and drain lines to spot leaks, obstructions, cracks, and deteriorated pipes. 

To pinpoint the exact source of the leak, we combine video inspection with static leak isolation testing. This involves isolating and pressure testing sections of your sewer system, creating a detailed map of leaks and weak points.

When leaks occur in freshwater systems, we use electronic line tracing and listening devices to amplify the sound of water escaping underground. This method gives us a precise location of the issue, helping us avoid unnecessary digging.

For suspected leaks under your home’s foundation, our technicians use electronic detection equipment, infrared cameras, and pressure testing. This refined process lets us locate leaks beneath slabs quickly and develop the most efficient, non-invasive repair plan possible.
