What Happens During a Hydrostatic Test?

During a hydrostatic drainage test, we first access the sewer clean-out—a capped pipe that allows for sewer line access and blockage removal—and plug the sewer exit under your house. This system directs wastewater and sewage into your city’s sewer main or septic tank. If your home lacks a clean-out, we will remove a nearby toilet and plug a drainage pipe.

Next, we fill the drainage system with water. If the water level drops, it indicates a leak in the pipelines under your home. Hydrostatic testing only determines if there’s a leak; once detected, an isolation test is used to locate it precisely.

Who Needs Hydrostatic Tests?

Hydrostatic tests are essential for detecting leaks and cracks that can affect a building’s foundation. They are also recommended during the home inspection process, especially for homes built before the 1970s with cast-iron piping or homes with a history of foundation issues.

Signs You May Have a Leak Under Your Foundation

You might have a leak under your home’s foundation if you notice:

  1. Cracks in the foundation, walls, or flooring
  2. A sudden loss of water pressure
  3. Damp, discolored flooring and carpeting
  4. Low water levels in your swimming pool, even after refilling it
  5. Changes in your water meter
  6. High water bills
