Manual Leak Detection

Manual Leak Detection

Manual leak detection for drainage applications is the simplest of the three available methods. It is accomplished by accessing the annular space generally at low points in a system with a valve, plug, or pipe riser to grade. The EPA mandates a leak detection process that involves the periodic manual inspection of the ports at least every 30 days.
