Drain Air Testing

At Strathclyde Drainage, we understand that a reliable drainage system is essential for protecting both property and public health. That is why we offer professional drain air testing as part of our comprehensive drainage services. Air testing is a fast, accurate and non-invasive method of verifying the integrity of below-ground drainage systems, making it an ideal solution for new builds, renovations, extensions and pre-purchase surveys.

The process involves sealing off a section of the drainage run and introducing air pressure into the pipework. If the pressure holds steady for the required period, the system is confirmed as watertight. If pressure drops, it indicates a leak, crack or faulty joint that requires attention. By identifying defects early, air testing helps prevent costly water damage, unpleasant odours and potential environmental issues further down the line.

Air testing is often required to satisfy building regulations and local authority inspections, particularly where new drainage connections are being installed. Our experienced engineers carry out tests to recognised standards, providing clear documentation and certification for your records. We also offer practical advice on any remedial work needed to bring your system up to standard.

Based in the heart of Scotland, Strathclyde Drainage serves domestic and commercial customers across the region. Whether you are a builder needing compliance certification, a homeowner planning an extension or a business managing a larger drainage network, we deliver a prompt, professional and competitively priced service.
