Why a Hydrostatic Report is Essential After Foundation Repair
If you’ve recently had foundation repairs completed on your home, there’s one crucial step you shouldn’t skip: getting a hydrostatic report. This report ensures that after lifting and stabilizing your home, there are no hidden plumbing leaks that could lead to costly damage.
What Is a Hydrostatic Report?
A hydrostatic report is a plumbing test that determines if your home has any leaks in the underground plumbing system. When a foundation is lifted, it can sometimes cause pipes to shift, crack, or disconnect, which could result in undetected leaks beneath your home. Without proper testing, these leaks can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and increased water bills—undoing the stability that foundation repair was meant to provide.
Why Is It Necessary?
- Prevents Hidden Water Damage – Even a small leak can cause major issues over time, weakening the soil under your foundation and leading to potential re-settlement.
- Saves Money in the Long Run – Catching leaks early prevents costly plumbing repairs and additional foundation problems in the future.
- Required for Warranty & Insurance – Some foundation repair warranties or home insurance policies require a hydrostatic test to confirm that no plumbing damage occurred.

Typically, hiring a plumber to conduct a hydrostatic test costs around $600. However, thanks to our strong partnerships with local plumbing companies, we offer this service for just $200—ensuring that homeowners get peace of mind without breaking the bank.
