A drain piping system undergoes a pressure test to check for leaks. The inspector evaluates the system under pressure using components like bushings and gauges.

Leak detection focuses on joints and plugs, followed by repairs and retesting to ensure integrity. The process concludes with the inspector's approval to finalize plumbing work.
