Our Plumbing Testing Services
Plumbing testing shows you what’s happening inside the system. Instead of waiting for a drip, a slow drain, or a sudden change in water pressure, testing uncovers early warning signs so you can act preemptively. George Plumbing offers several types of testing to address the most common concerns San Antonio homeowners face.
Leak Detection
Leaks don’t always show themselves with obvious puddles. They can hide under the foundation, behind drywall, or above the ceiling. Left unchecked, even a small leak can damage the subfloor, warp wood beams, and encourage mold growth.
Leak detection services from George Plumbing involve using advanced equipment to track down hidden leaks. This allows us to check your pipes and fixtures without tearing the house apart. Once we locate the source, we explain the best repair options clearly, letting you make an informed decision instead of risking a surprise flood later on.
Pressure Testing
Without steady water pressure, everyday tasks like washing dishes, showering, and filling the bathtub quickly become frustrating. Everyone craves high water pressure, but if it’s too high, it could strain your pipes and fixtures.
Pressure testing identifies whether your plumbing is holding steady under normal household demand. We check for weaknesses in pipes and valves that could lead to future problems. If there’s an issue, we’ll walk you through what it means and how to address it.
Backflow Testing
Backflow is one of the biggest threats to clean water. It happens when contaminated water flows backward into your supply line, exposing your family to harmful pollutants.
Backflow testing protects the integrity of your drinking water. Our licensed technicians perform backflow tests in accordance with the City of San Antonio. We make sure your backflow prevention device is working properly and handle the paperwork on your behalf for hassle-free compliance.

Plumbing Testing FAQs
How often should plumbing systems be tested?
Testing every two years is usually sufficient. Be aware that backflow preventers may require annual testing to meet San Antonio’s compliance standards. Testing after a plumbing repair or home renovation is also wise to make sure everything’s in order.
What is the ideal water pressure for a home?
Most residential plumbing systems perform best when the water pressure stays between 40 and 60 psi. Any lower than this, and you’ll deal with weak showers and sluggish fixtures. But any higher than 80 psi could strain your pipes, damage appliances, and shorten the lifespan of valves and seals. Testing confirms your system is operating in the safe range.
Can leak detection find problems before I see signs of water damage?
Yes. Modern leak detection goes far beyond spotting puddles or water stains. Using acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging, and pressure testing, we can track down hidden leaks that you’d never spot on your own. This gives you the chance to fix issues early, avoiding eventual damage to the floors, drywall, or foundation.
