How To Air Test Drainage In Cumbria

Drainage Cumbria is a professional drainage company located in Cumbria, North West England. We provide a comprehensive range of drainage services including air testing for both commercial and residential properties. In this landing page, we will be discussing the importance of air testing drainage systems and how we can help you in Cumbria.

Why Test Drainage Systems?

Testing drainage systems is important to ensure that they are functioning properly and to prevent problems such as blockages and flooding. It is essential to test new drainage systems before they are used to make sure they are working correctly. However, testing should also be done periodically, even on older systems to avoid serious damage.

Air testing is a highly effective method for testing drainage systems. The test is done by introducing air into the system and checking for leaks or other issues. The benefits of air testing include:

• It is non-destructive and therefore does not require excavation
• It is fast and accurate
• It allows for easy detection of leaks and other issues
• It is cost-effective

The Process

At Drainage Cumbria, we follow a strict process for air testing drainage systems. This includes:

1. Inspection - Before testing, we inspect the entire drainage system to ensure that it is ready for testing.

2. Seal the system - We seal all of the outlets to ensure that no air can escape.

3. Introduce air - We introduce air into the system using a pump and monitor the pressure.

4. Pressure test - We monitor the pressure in the system and check for any drops that may indicate leaks or other issues.

5. Certification - After the test is complete, we provide a certificate verifying that the drainage system has passed the air test.

Who Needs An Air Test?

Anyone who has a drainage system in their building needs an air test. This includes both residential and commercial properties. If you are building a new property or making significant changes to an existing property, you will also need an air test. An air test is also required by building control regulations.

It is important to note that an air test should only be carried out by a qualified plumber or drainage professional who has experience in air testing. Attempting to carry out an air test yourself can be dangerous and may cause further damage to the system.
