For objective data that helps make informed decisions, get a SageWater Pipe TEST (Technical Evaluation of System Threats) forensic analysis.
A Pipe TEST diagnoses problems in a piping system. You’ll learn the true condition of your pipes, how much longer they’ll last, and what it will cost to replace them.
Learn if a community-wide piping system renovation is necessary, and if it’s necessary right now.
Make informed decisions about when to schedule a piping renovation project amidst competing capital improvement priorities.
If the study indicates that a piping system must be replaced, obtain an estimate of how much to reserve.
A Pipe TEST report helps you communicate with homeowners who may be skeptical about the need to replace a system. You’ll show that you’re making informed decisions and establishing an appropriate sense of urgency (including the ability to wait).
Techniques depend on your unique situation and may include camera, ultrasound, lab analysis, and more.
All work is performed by certified and trained professionals and reviewed by a professional engineer.
We complete most onsite inspections in just a few days and deliver complete forensic analyses and insight in 3–4 weeks.
In addition to a detailed forensic report, you’ll learn the true condition of your pipes, how much longer they’ll last, and what it will cost to replace them.
This forensic analysis compares the pipe wall thickness of a healthy DWV drainpipe (top) with one that is thinning and needs to be replaced (bottom).
A digital microscope shows a pinhole in a copper piping system. The interior corrosion has propagated to the exterior, producing leaks.
With camera-based testing, technicians can conduct a CCTV pipe inspection of your DWV piping system.
A technician prepares a camera for pipeline inspection.
Ultrasonic testing works by precisely measuring how long it takes for a sound pulse to travel through a specific section of pipe wall. This provides key information about the thickness of pipes, indicating issues like corrosion or constriction.
For pipe sampling, we remove sections of pipe from the system and send them to a lab for detailed inspection. Here, examination of failed plastic tubing reveals that the fracture was caused by a manufacturing defect.
