You can bring the tank and unfilled balloons to fill up onsite before your party, thereby also ensuring that they last long enough! Also, it’s typically cheaper for you to inflate them yourself.

Ahzahdeh Neshat Party Decorating Specialist Expert Answer Fill up a tub with water — or a small bowl, if its a small balloon — and submerge the balloon. Youll see small bubbles coming out of the leak. If its small, you can cover it with clear masking tape to fix it.
- Question The air is not staying inside the balloon. It loses air after 4 – 5 minutes. What should I do?
T. Chinsen Top Answerer The balloon may be defective or have a hole. Spray a light layer of water and gently squeeze the balloon to find the hole. It will bubble up under the water layer. Dry off the area and place transparent tape over the leaking spot. If the entire seam or the valve of the balloon is defective, it may not be possible to fix.
