Bathroom Pod Testing
Every pod undergoes a thorough quality inspection process with various internal sign offs required throughout the manufacturing process. Sign off is required at each stage of the manufacturing process before a pod can progress to the next stage. All plumbing and electrical services within the pod are completed in the factory and are routed to connection points on an exterior pod wall for quick and easy connection on site.
The Importance Of Testing After Bathroom Pod Installation
Testing the bathroom pods after installation is an essential step we take to ensure everything is in clean working order. The finishing process includes taping, tanking, tiling, first fix, painting, second fix, cleaning and final testing. Specialists of each process are responsible for the final testing ensuring the pod reaches an excellent, high quality standard. To find out about this process in further detail, click here.
Offsite solutions also offer an aftercare scheme where we dedicate their time to handle all post-delivery matters such as assistance with the bathroom pods installation and positioning. This includes electrical and plumbing repair and maintenance. The team even take time to rectify damage caused by other trades. Every bathroom pod is given a unique identification number for traceability. This allows us to see which line manufactured it and when they manufactured it.
