Pressure Testing

Pressure testing is a diagnostic method used to verify the integrity of pipe systems, waterproofing membranes, and other sealed systems by subjecting them to controlled pressure and monitoring for pressure loss. EasyScan.ca performs pressure testing on water supply lines, drain waste vent systems, gas lines, and waterproofing installations to identify leaks, weak points, and potential failures. This testing is essential for new construction verification, renovation projects, and diagnosing suspected leaks in existing systems.

We perform various types of pressure testing depending on the system being evaluated. Hydrostatic pressure testing uses water to pressurize systems for leak detection in plumbing lines. Pneumatic pressure testing uses air pressure for drain lines and situations where water testing is impractical. Static pressure testing monitors pressure over time to detect slow leaks. Our technicians select the appropriate testing method based on the system type, material, and testing requirements.

Pressure testing has numerous applications in building diagnostics and construction quality assurance. Common uses include testing new plumbing installations before covering, verifying repairs to pressurized systems, diagnosing unexplained water loss or high water bills, assessing pipe system condition before property transactions, testing waterproofing membrane installations, and meeting code requirements for new construction and renovations. Our testing services help ensure system reliability and prevent future failures.

Every pressure test performed by EasyScan.ca includes detailed documentation of the testing procedure, pressure levels, duration, and results. We use calibrated professional equipment to ensure accurate and reliable test data. Our test reports are suitable for permitting authorities, insurance documentation, and quality assurance records. We work with homeowners, contractors, plumbers, and building officials throughout the testing process to ensure clear communication of results and findings.
