Before drywall goes up or concrete gets poured, every drain line needs to prove it’s leak-free under real-world pressure.
Customer Issue
On a new build in Loretto, confirming the underground and in-wall piping was 100% airtight was essential before closing in the framing and slab.
What We Did
David and Everett executed a complete pressure test. They inserted inflatable test plugs into the standpipe and slab drains, pressurized the system using an inflator, and hooked up a test gauge to monitor for any pressure drop across the entire system.
Result
A fully verified, leak-free drainage system ready for concrete and drywall.
Why It Matters
Drains mostly rely on gravity, but high-volume water discharges—like a modern washing machine pump—create real surge pressure inside the drain pipes. Super small gaps in glue joints can leak water or can let toxic sewer gases back into living spaces. Pressurizing the system with a gauge proves that every joint is sealed tight before it’s hidden forever behind drywall or under concrete.
