Leak test in Darmstadt
DIN EN 1610 requires leak tests on newly laid wastewater pipes as part of the building inspections.
For used drainage systems, however, the leak test is regulated by DIN 1986 Part 30 and the corresponding worksheets of the Wastewater Technical Association (ATV).
Leak testing of wastewater pipes
– how the inspection is carried out
The video (in German) provides an good overview of the leak testing process. It illustrates how professionals inspect wastewater pipes, perform tests and document the results. The assessment is based on the technical requirements of DIN EN 1610 and the DWA-A 139 technical guideline. The objective is to ensure the long-term, safe operation of drainage systems in a way that is both standard-compliant and transparent.
Municipalities rely on leak testing
According to the EKVO, all private supply channels should have been examined by a specialist company by December 31, 2024. Exceptions were lines that were built after 01.01.1996 or that were permanently renovated. They should have been checked by the end of 2039. This time constrains – as explained before – are currently not in force. However, the specifications of the municipalities are binding
Relevant testing methods for sustainable leak testing

Leak testing of private house connections
Property owners are required to test the tightness of their private drainage pipes – to protect groundwater and avoid damage to the public sewer system. Depending on local conditions, either water or air testing is used. Our technicians carry out these tests in accordance with the relevant technical standards and document the results in a clear and traceable manner.

Leak testing in municipal systems
Local authorities must regularly inspect the condition of their wastewater infrastructure. These inspections are carried out in accordance with DIN EN 1610 and DWA-A 139. Our specialists use modern testing equipment to detect leaks at an early stage and to help ensure that drainage systems remain fully functional. This supports not only operational reliability but also the long-term preservation of asset value.
