Ken,
Re: testing internal leaders, I agree with David -- that backed-up water testing
could result in catastrophic leaking -- leaders just aren't designed to carry
that kind of pressure. Maybe they really meant the "smoke and mirrors" test
(I'm sure you can come up with a variety of worthy scenarios).
Have you considered offering a visual exam via fiberoptic scope? This is a
fairly well-accepted way to estimate conditions. If you need more details, I'll
have to hunt them down next Monday. Let me know.
