Localized Testing (Spot Testing)



Localized Testing (Spot Testing)

Important: Pinpoint the leak area before making any repair. Do not perform random repairs. Random repairs temporarily restrict water entry and make future diagnosis and repair more difficult.



Perform the localized testing with either water or air. Begin testing at the base of the suspected area. Continue testing the suspected area until you locate the leak.


Continue the localized testing in the same general area in order to locate all possible leaks.
