Hydrostatic Testing In the Dallas/Fort Worth Area
DFW, Texas Hydrostatic Testing Specialists
Do you think there might be any leaks in your sewer system? Have you noticed any signs of a leak in your home or commercial business? Has your water bill increased all of a sudden and you don’t know why? A hydrostatic test could be the answer. This type of test will allow us to find any leaks that could be occurring under the surface that you haven’t yet been able to see. At CMH Plumbing Solutions, we specialize in testing, detecting, and catching leaks in your home before they become disastrous.
What Is Hydrostatic Testing?
Any home or business owner who senses a possible leak needs a hydrostatic test. It is the first step in any effective repair process as no plumber wants to go full steam into a project without knowing exactly what they are getting into. A hydrostatic test will help anyone on the job to better understand the scope of work. If you have noticed reduced water pressure, mold or mildew, water stains, increased water bill, sagging ceilings, or peeling wallpaper, you likely have a leak and should call a professional plumber to perform these tests. Read below for more information about what exactly a hydrostatic test is:
This type of test is performed on a home or building’s sanitary sewer system to determine if there are water leaks present.
An inflatable test ball is inserted into the building or home mainline sewer cleanout and is then inflated in order to block or plug the main sewer line.
The sewer system is then filled with water up to the slab level, where the water level is observed for up to 15 minutes.
If the system does not fill to slab level, or if the water level begins to drop, water leaks are present in the sanitary sewer system.
The next phase of leak detection involves a combination of video camera pipe inspection and static leak isolation testing of PVC or cast iron sewer system.
Our Hydrostatic Testing Process
Any home or business owner who senses a possible leak needs a hydrostatic test. It is the first step in any effective repair process as no plumber wants to go full steam into a project without knowing exactly what they are getting into. A hydrostatic test will help anyone on the job to better understand the scope of work. If you have noticed reduced water pressure, mold or mildew, water stains, increased water bill, sagging ceilings, or peeling wallpaper, you likely have a leak and should call a professional plumber to perform these tests. Read below for more information about what exactly a hydrostatic test is:
First, we send one of our plumbers out to your property to check if you have cleanouts installed. If you do not, we will have to install them prior to any tests.
Second, once we have sorted out the cleanout situation, we can begin our hydrostatic testing process.
Third, if the results from the first hydrostatic test come back negative, meaning you have a leak in your home, we will then send a different plumber out to your property to do another test. As mentioned before, we always double check our tests to be 110% sure repairs need to be done.
Fourth, if the second test comes back saying you have a leak, then it is confirmed and we will begin the next steps. Typically if our plumbers can not see the leak with their own eyes, we will perform a static isolation test to determine the exact location of the leak.
Notice Before Testing.
Before we can perform a test, a form must be signed by both the potential home buyers and home sellers.

Nothing makes us happier than helping our clients accomplish their goals. We are incredibly grateful to be in their service.
I called them after reading the story about them repairing homes during the freeze without charging anyone (not hoping for free advice because people deserve to get paid for their work). We recently discovered our house has a slow leak. Since plumbers are so backed up and can’t physically get to locations fast enough, Abraham waited on the phone with me and helped me diagnose where the leak is. Literally step by step: I would take pictures, text it to him, then he would tell me what to do. Turns out an irrigation pipe is broken somewhere. The kindness displayed during this crisis is unreal. I will use them for every plumbing project going forward.

Yesterday I went to check on my piping connected to my water heater and found that a valve had been cracked and broken due to the Winter storm. After calling 30 + plumbers in the DFW I called CMH and Abraham picked up. At first he was willing to help walk me through what I needed to do and the supplies I needed to get which is what I was looking for. Then he decided to come to help make the repairs, all out of wanting to help the community. He’s out today and will be out making repairs of no charge and is a great plumber but an even more outstanding person. I would recommend this group to anyone needing any sort of plumbing done. Thank you Abraham!

I live in Wilmer Texas and after the snow storm my drainage blocked and started flooding the house- I immediately called CMH guys and due to the high volume of demand for their work they could not come on site but they took time to assist me over the phone- the guys are so friendly- and they took their time to help me and they were so helpful- I followed all their instructions and BOOM my problem got resolved . I couldn’t imagine that they went all out to help me free of charge and they were so professional. Thank you CMH!
