A hydrostatic test checks your plumbing system for leaks by filling the sewer lines with water and monitoring if the water level drops. It’s a simple and accurate way to see if your plumbing is holding pressure and functioning properly.

You may need a hydrostatic test if you suspect a plumbing leak under your home’s foundation, notice higher water bills, or see signs of moisture or cracks. It’s also commonly required during home purchases, new construction, or after foundation movement to ensure the sewer system is watertight.

Hydrostatic tests aren’t required on a set schedule, but they’re recommended whenever you notice potential plumbing issues, experience foundation shifts, or buy or sell a home. Regular testing can help catch leaks early and prevent costly foundation or water damage. Call Pelican Plumbing in Brenham Tx today!
