Ensure secure plumbing systems with air pressure testing
Prevent potential damage and unexpected issues
The purpose of an air pressure test is to ensure the integrity of your water supply lines, checking for leaks from the water meter up to the service valves. This important diagnostic step helps confirm that your plumbing system is secure and functioning properly before regular water use resumes. It is important to note that the test does not include any drain lines, focusing solely on the supply system. Air pressure testing is commonly performed on foreclosed properties or homes where the water has been shut off for an extended period, such as throughout the winter, helping to prevent potential damage, leaks, or unexpected issues once the water service is reactivated.
Why Test for Air Pressure?
- Identify small leaks before they cause major water damage
- Ensure that pipes, fittings, and connections are secure and functioning properly
- Catch problems before they lead to extensive damage or costly replacements
- Ensure new plumbing installations meet code and are leak-free
- Especially useful for home inspections, giving buyers confidence in the plumbing system.
