Commercial Testing Process
System Analysis & Planning
Review building mechanical drawings, identify system zones, determine test parameters, and coordinate with property management for tenant notification and access requirements.
Zone Isolation & Preparation
Isolate test sections using appropriate valves and plugs. Install pressure monitoring equipment at strategic locations. Verify all connections and supports are ready for pressurization.
Pressure Testing Execution
Apply test pressure per code requirements (typically 1.5x operating pressure). Monitor for code-specified duration. Document pressure readings, temperature compensation, and any observed anomalies.
Reporting & Certification
Generate comprehensive test reports with pressure charts, photos, system diagrams, and certification statements. Provide documentation for building permits, insurance, and warranty compliance.
Why Commercial Pressure Testing Matters
