Air Pressure Testing

When a home has been vacant—especially during the colder months—it’s essential to ensure the plumbing system is still in working order before turning the water back on. Our air pressure testing service in Polk County is designed specifically for this situation. This test checks the integrity of your home’s water supply lines by using compressed air to detect leaks or failures, without the risk of water damage. It’s particularly valuable for foreclosures, winterized homes, or properties with unknown plumbing conditions. At Home Pro Inspections, we use professional-grade equipment to give you fast, accurate results—so you can move forward with confidence and avoid costly surprises.

Ideal for Vacant or Winterized Homes

Air pressure testing is especially useful for homes that have been sitting empty, such as foreclosures or winterized properties. It helps ensure the plumbing system is still intact before water is turned back on.

Detects Leaks Without Risk of Water Damage

Unlike traditional water testing, air pressure testing uses compressed air to check for leaks in the water supply lines—providing a safe, non-invasive way to evaluate plumbing without causing water damage.

Helps Prevent Expensive Repairs

By identifying leaks or weak points early, this test can save homeowners or buyers from costly repairs or water-related damage down the road.

Fast, Accurate Results
