  • What is drain testing?
    Drain testing is the process of checking the functionality and integrity of a drainage system. It involves using specialised equipment to identify any leaks, blockages, or other issues that could cause problems with the system. Drain testing is important for maintaining the safety and efficiency of a building's plumbing system, and it is often required by building codes and regulations.
  • How long does a drainage test take?
    The length of a drainage test can vary depending on the size and complexity of the property, but typically it takes between 1-2 hours to complete. During this time, a professional will assess the drainage system and identify any potential issues or areas of concern.
  • What are the 2 main types of drain testing?
    The two main types of drain testing are air testing and water testing. Air testing involves using compressed air to test the integrity of the drainage system, while water testing involves filling the system with water to check for leaks or blockages. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which to use will depend on the specific needs of the situation.
  • How do you do a drain test for building control?
    The process of drain testing involves filling the drainage system with water and checking for leaks or blockages. This can be done using either a water test or an air test. The water test involves filling the system with water and checking for leaks, while the air test involves using a special pump to pressurise the system and checking for any drops in pressure. It is important to follow proper safety procedures and regulations when conducting drain testing for building control.
  • What is the best tool to clear a drain?
    The best tool to clear a drain depends on the type of clog and the location of the drain. For simple clogs in sinks or showers, a plunger or drain snake can often do the trick. For tougher clogs in toilets or deeper in pipes, an auger may be necessary. It's best to consult with a plumber or hardware store expert for specific recommendations.
