What Is Hydrostatic Testing?
Hydrostatic testing is a diagnostic method that pressurizes the plumbing system with water to confirm whether a leak exists and help isolate its location. By isolating sections of pipe and watching pressure, a technician can determine if the problem is in the main line, a branch, or a slab line. It is a key step in confirming a slab leak.
