Hydrostatic Plumbing Test Failure

[Marc Pelletier]

OK.  So my partner and I bought this great deal in Arlington TX from a wholesaler for a great price.  The foundation work went off without a hitch, except they did a plumbing test and it looks like the Hydrostatic plumbing test failed.  I did some googling and it looks like there are a lot of articles from plumbing companies talking about how much these repairs can cost.  But I haven't been able to find anything on the BP website about it.  

So question for you all is:  Have you done hydrostatic plumbing tests?  If they've failed how big of a deal is it?  Are we about to net zero on this flip?!

Just have a plumbing company do another test as a second opinion. I doubt it is a problem, since I have never heard of this. If it is an expensive problem that needs repair, be prepared to make this a rental for a few years until you can recoup some of your expenses.
