You’ve just taken over the lease on a new commercial property—perhaps a bar, a care home, or a small business unit. Before you can open your doors to the public, one of the most important safety checks is on the water system. If a building has been inactive for an extended period, the stagnant water in its pipes and tanks can become a serious health hazard.
When people hear “pressure testing,” they often picture a large, new water main on a major construction site. While that is a core part of our work, the principles of verifying a pipeline’s integrity can be applied to a much wider and more diverse range of systems.
