Our Hydrostatic Testing Process
At C&E Pipe Services, we follow a careful, step-by-step hydrostatic testing process to deliver accurate results and protect your property. Our team prioritizes accuracy, safety, and minimal disruption throughout the entire leak detection process, so you get clear answers and peace of mind.
Here’s what you can expect from our hydrostatic testing process:
- Initial inspection - We begin with a visual inspection of your plumbing system to identify any visible signs of damage or areas of concern. This helps us determine if hydrostatic testing is the right next step.
- Isolating the plumbing system - We plug the sewer or water lines to isolate the section we’re testing. This makes the test more accurate and helps us to target the correct area of the system.
- Filling the lines with water - The isolated lines are then filled with water until they reach full capacity. We monitor the water level for a set period of time to see if it drops; any drop indicates a potential leak.
- Pressure monitoring - Throughout the test, we use specialized equipment to monitor pressure levels. Stable pressure means your system is intact; a pressure drop means further inspection is needed.
Once we complete your hydrostatic test, we walk you through the results and next steps. If a leak is found, we can follow up with a sewer line camera inspection or isolation testing to identify the exact location. Based on those findings, we recommend targeted, cost-effective solutions tailored to your plumbing system. You’ll receive a clear breakdown of the findings so you can make informed decisions, whether for repairs or real estate negotiations.

When to Schedule Hydrostatic Testing
Knowing when to schedule hydrostatic testing can save you from costly repairs and long-term damage.
You should schedule hydrostatic testing:
- Before buying a home - Especially in older homes or properties with known foundation repairs, a hydrostatic test can reveal hidden issues.
- After a sewer backup - If you’ve recently experienced sewer backups or slow drains, testing can help uncover potential underground damage.
- When foundation or slab movement is detected - If there are signs of shifting foundations or slab cracks, a hydrostatic test helps determine if leaks are contributing.
- After plumbing repairs - Ensure that recent plumbing repairs were successful and that no new leaks have developed.
- When a leak is suspected - Unexplained moisture, foundation cracks, reduced water pressure, or rising water bills are all signs of a plumbing leak.
Hidden plumbing leaks can wreak havoc on your property. Schedule a hydrostatic testing service to verify that your pipes are in good shape and enjoy some peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a failed hydrostatic test always mean I need a major pipe replacement?
No. A failed test confirms a leak exists, but the cause may be minor. The issue could be a simple separation in the pipe, a small crack, or a localized spot of root intrusion. Further diagnostic steps like isolation testing or a camera inspection are used to precisely locate the leak and determine the least invasive, most cost-effective repair, which might be a spot repair, not a full replacement.
How long does a typical hydrostatic test take to perform?
The actual testing portion usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes of active monitoring. The entire service, including preparation and re-setting the removed toilet (if necessary), typically takes 1 to 3 hours.
How soon after a failed hydrostatic test should repairs be made?
Repairs should be scheduled as soon as possible. While a leak may start small, the continuous saturation of the soil beneath your slab foundation can quickly lead to severe foundation damage, which is far more expensive to fix than the plumbing leak itself.
