Hydrostatic Sewer Testing
Get accurate answers about your sewer system with advanced hydrostatic plumbing testing performed by experienced plumbing professionals.
What Is Hydrostatic Sewer Testing?
A hydrostatic plumbing test is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to detect leaks in underground sewer lines.
During the test, sections of the sewer system are isolated and filled with water. The water level is then monitored over a specific period. If the level drops, it indicates that water is escaping through a crack, a broken pipe, a loose joint, or another defect.
Cole’s Plumbing’s experienced plumbers perform detailed tests to help determine the condition of your sewer system and prevent more costly repairs down the road.

Hydrostatic Test Plumbing FAQs
HOW LONG DOES A HYDROSTATIC SEWER TEST TAKE?
Most tests take 1 to 3 hours, depending on the length of the line being evaluated and the time required to monitor the water level for an accurate reading.
IS HYDROSTATIC PLUMBING TEST MESSY OR DISRUPTIVE?
No. The test uses your existing cleanout access point, so there’s no digging, cutting, or damage to your yard or flooring during testing.
CAN A HYDROSTATIC TEST TELL ME EXACTLY WHERE A LEAK IS LOCATED?
It confirms whether a leak exists and narrows down the general section of the line involved. For an exact location, we typically follow up with a sewer camera inspection, which lets us see inside the pipe directly.
