About Pressure Testing
Pressure testing involves isolating a section of pipe or system and applying controlled air or water pressure to measure its ability to hold pressure over time.
A pressure drop indicates the presence of a leak, and the rate of pressure loss helps estimate the leak's severity.
For water systems, we use hydrostatic testing where the system is filled with water and pressurised.
For systems that must remain dry, we perform pneumatic (air) pressure testing.
Pressure testing is often the first step in confirming whether a leak exists before deploying location-specific detection technologies.
