We plug the system and fill it with water to verify the sewer line holds pressure - the most accurate method for detecting cracks, failed joints, and root intrusions.
We combine smoke testing with hydrostatic methods for difficult-to-locate leaks, using non-toxic smoke to trace even hairline cracks in your Johnstown sewer system.
After identifying a leak location, we use our HD sewer camera to visually confirm the defect - providing video footage and still images in your written report.
Root intrusion is the number one cause of sewer leaks in Johnstown's mature residential neighborhoods. We identify and document root infiltration for targeted mechanical clearing.
We test the entire sewer lateral from your home's cleanout to the municipal connection - the section most often failing and most frequently excluded from standard inspections.
We issue sewer leak test reports accepted by the Johnstown Redevelopment Authority and Cambria County sewer authorities for permit compliance and property transfers.
A leaking sewer lateral in Johnstown can contaminate your yard soil and basement with raw sewage - a serious health hazard and a costly remediation project. Testing catches leaks before they become emergencies.
Undetected sewer leaks erode surrounding soil, causing pipe collapse and foundation movement. Proactive sewer leak testing in Cambria County costs a fraction of emergency excavation repair.
Cambria County real estate transactions routinely include sewer lateral inspections. A clean sewer leak test report protects your sale price and prevents last-minute renegotiations.
