When Do Water Lines Require Air Pressure Testing?

An air pressure testing water line inspection must be conducted to find leaks. This type of air testing water lines helps check piping without water and ensure everything is up to an acceptable code.

If a water line has any issues, signs to look out for include water dripping, leaking, dampness or discoloration from walls, low water flow or low water pressure, an increased water bill, and more. Call a trusted American Underground, Inc. technician immediately if you are experiencing or have noticed any of these issues. If not inspected and fixed, it could escalate into a much greater problem later on.

How Does Air Pressure Sewer Line Testing Work?

Testing is done on a variety of sewer line types, either through a water line air test or an air test for sewer pipes. During air pressure sewer line inspections, both ends of the pipe are blocked by inflatable balls placed at each manhole cover, and through one of the balls, we introduce low air pressure.

The rate of escaped air is then measured and recorded by a technician for approval, acceptance, or rejection of the pipeline. Certified test results are then delivered to the client. This is a relatively quick and effective way to measure the quality of newly installed pipelines for any groundwater infiltration.
