Static Isolation Testing – CMH Plumbing’s Leak Isolation Test
Hassle-Free Static Isolation Tests in DFW
At CMH Plumbing Solutions, we understand the stress that a leak can cause. Water damage, high bills, and wasted time are just the beginning. That is why we offer static isolation testing. This is the most reliable way to identify where leaks are hidden in your plumbing system. With our leak isolation test, you get clear answers instead of guesses. At CMH Plumbing, our goal is simple: to give you peace of mind with reliable static isolation testing.
Why Choose Static Isolation Testing?
When a pipe is leaking, the most challenging part is determining exactly where the problem is. That’s where static isolation testing comes in. This service allows us to isolate sections of your plumbing system, enabling us to test them individually.
At the start of the leak isolation test, our team uses inflatable test balls to close off areas of the pipe. This creates a seal. Then, we check the pressure. If the pressure drops, we know there is a leak in that section. If the pressure holds, that section is fine.
With this process, static isolation testing:
Saves you money by avoiding unnecessary digging.
Saves you time by cutting out guesswork.
Protects your home from damage.
Leaks can be tricky, but with CMH Plumbing’s static isolation testing, the exact source of the problem becomes clear.
The Power of a Leak Isolation Test
The main goal of a leak isolation test is to answer one question: “Where is the leak coming from?” Leaks can be anywhere—under the slab, inside a wall, or deep underground. Without a proper leak isolation test, you might end up fixing the wrong area.
At CMH Plumbing, we conduct a leak isolation test using static isolation testing to ensure the accuracy of the results. Our process is suitable for both residential and commercial buildings. By conducting this test, we can identify areas for further investigation and focus on the actual cause. That way, you avoid paying for repairs you don’t need.
This is the reason people across the DFW area trust our static isolation test in Dallas.
How Static Isolation Testing Works
Here’s how our static isolation test in Dallas works step by step:
System Assessment – We inspect your plumbing setup and identify any areas that may require attention.
Sectional Testing – We place inflatable test balls to seal sections of the system.
Pressure Test – By adding water pressure and monitoring drops, we find leaks.
Leak Detection – A leak isolation test pinpoints the exact source.
Action Plan – After static isolation testing, we share clear repair steps.
This process means you don’t have to wonder where the leak is. Our static isolation testing gives you proof and direction.
Benefits of Static Isolation Testing
Here are the biggest reasons to choose static isolation testing:
Accuracy – Finds the exact spot of the leak.
Saves Money – Prevents wasted repair costs.
Less Damage – No need to tear up walls or floors.
Quick Results – You get answers fast.
Confidence – Know your plumbing system is tested correctly.
With CMH Plumbing’s static isolation testing, you can move forward with confidence.
Static Isolation Testing vs. Other Testing
Other leak detection methods can only indicate that a leak exists—but not pinpoint its location. For example, hydrostatic pressure testing is effective for detecting leaks in general, but it cannot pinpoint the exact location.
That’s why static isolation testing is different. It utilizes leak isolation and leak isolation test methods to break the system into its component parts. This step-by-step check makes it far more accurate.
Instead of replacing entire pipes or cutting open walls, static isolation testing gives you a targeted solution. That means fewer repairs and faster results.

Applications of Static Isolation Testing
Static isolation testing is useful in many situations. Here are the most common:
Residential Homes – Detect slab leaks, pipe leaks, or wall leaks.
Commercial Buildings – Stop hidden leaks before they cause costly downtime.
New Construction – Confirm plumbing integrity before final installation.
Preventive Maintenance – Use static isolation testing as part of routine care.
Property Management – Ensure tenants and businesses are protected from water damage.
In all these cases, static isolation testing gives clarity and prevents small leaks from becoming big problems.
Adding More About Plumbing and Testing
Leaks don’t just waste water—they can also damage the structure of your property. That’s why CMH Plumbing utilizes tools similar to static motor analyzers in the mechanical field, but adapted for use in plumbing. The idea remains the same: test sections carefully, avoid damage, and confirm their health before undertaking major repairs.
We compare this with motor insulation testing or static motor testing. Just as electricians use a surge test, DC hipot, or meg-ohm test to check insulation weaknesses in an electric motor, our team uses static isolation testing to check the health of your plumbing. It’s about being precise, preventing further degradation, and reducing unplanned downtime.
Think of it like this: your plumbing system is just as important as an electric motor in a machine. Both need condition monitoring. Both require predictive maintenance. Both can be tested offline, disconnected from their power supply. With plumbing, static isolation testing is the predictive tool that saves time, money, and stress.
The Next Step in Leak Detection
After static isolation testing, we’ll share our findings. If a leak is detected, we’ll talk through repair options. Sometimes that means rerouting pipes. Other times, it means replacing a section. Either way, the repair plan is based on facts, not guesses.
This is why static isolation testing is a crucial step in the repair process. It prevents mistakes, lowers costs, and shortens downtime. It’s the most reliable way to make sure you’re fixing the right problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the static testing method?
The static testing method checks for leaks by sealing off sections of pipes and holding pressure to see if water drops. It helps find hidden leaks without breaking walls or floors.
How to perform an isolation test?
An isolation test is performed by blocking off a section of the plumbing with inflatable test balls, applying pressure, and monitoring for leaks. This shows if that section has a leak.
What happens during static testing?
During static testing, your plumbing is divided into parts and each one is tested for leaks. It’s safe, quick, and doesn’t damage your home.
What is the difference between static and dynamic testing?
Static testing checks for leaks when water is not moving, while dynamic testing looks for issues when water is flowing. Both give useful information, but static testing is more exact for leak detection.
Why is static isolation testing important?
Static isolation testing finds the exact leak location, saving you from costly repairs and wasted time. It gives clear results and peace of mind.
Hear From Our Customers
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!
