South Hills Dye Testing

G. Horvath Plumbing offers professional dye testing services for homes and businesses throughout the South Hills of Pittsburgh. Dye testing is often required for property sales or municipal code compliance and is used to detect illegal stormwater connections or leaks in the sewer system. Whether you're preparing to sell your home, buying a new property, or addressing a city compliance notice, we’re here to help you through the process with speed and precision.


Our team uses a safe, non-toxic dye that’s introduced into the drainage system to check if stormwater is improperly entering the sanitary sewer line. This simple but important test helps prevent overflows and damage to local sewer infrastructure, ensuring your system is in compliance with local regulations.


Need fast results? G. Horvath Plumbing offers quick turnaround and prompt reporting, along with repairs if your system doesn’t pass the initial test. We're your reliable partner for accurate testing, repairs, and compliance—all in one.
