What to Expect During a Gas Pressure Test
We start by isolating the gas system, capping outlets, and applying a pressurized test to check for pressure loss over a specified duration. This non-destructive test helps pinpoint even the smallest leaks. If issues are found, we’ll recommend and carry out appropriate repairs to restore full safety and function. All testing is performed according to local plumbing and mechanical codes, with documentation provided for permit or inspection purposes.
