Some leaks won’t reveal themselves to a microphone or a camera — they hide in a drainage system that only leaks when it’s full, or a supply line that weeps under pressure behind a slab. Hydrostatic pressure testing forces the answer: isolate the system, pressurize it, and watch. If it holds, the pipe is sound; if pressure drops, it leaks — and which section drops tells you where. AnyLeak.ca has used pressure testing across BC since 1999 as the definitive yes/no on hidden plumbing and drainage leaks.
What hydrostatic testing answers
- Does the drain/waste/vent (DWV) system hold? A test ball isolates the system at a cleanout; the stack is filled to a known head and monitored. A falling level means a breach — common on under-slab drainage and aging cast iron.
- Is the sewer lateral intact? Pressure or head testing confirms a buried lateral before excavation; pair with sewer locating and camera inspection.
- Are the supply lines sound? Pressure-holding tests on potable lines isolate a weeping section before a wall opens.
Isolate, pressurize, narrow, pinpoint
The test proves that a system leaks; we then narrow it section by section by re-testing isolated runs, and pinpoint the exact spot with acoustic, tracer-gas and camera methods — so the one repair access lands on the breach. It is one tool in a full detection process, chosen when a pass/fail on a closed system is exactly what the situation needs.
Who needs it
Homeowners with a slab or sewer question; stratas verifying stacks; commercial and institutional sites confirming drainage integrity; and buyers who want a system proven before removing conditions. Across BC — all service areas.
FAQ
Does it damage the plumbing? No — testing uses controlled, code-appropriate pressures and is removed afterward.
Air or water? Depends on the system and access; we choose the safe, appropriate medium per job.
