THE SMOKE TESTING PROCESS

Smoke testing is a precise method utilized to identify leaks within sewer systems. Contrary to popular belief, the smoke utilized is not dense but rather akin to a thin vapor in consistency. The process initiates above a manhole, where air is directed to disperse the smoke throughout the entire sewer system. Given the complexities of most systems, substantial volumes of air are typically required to ensure thorough distribution of smoke particles throughout various channels and pathways.

BENEFITS OF SMOKE TESTING

Smoke testing offers multiple benefits when it comes to detecting and eliminating foul odors caused by gas leaks in and around homes. With its ability to quickly pinpoint leaks, this method ensures a swift restoration of air quality, all without the need for destructive measures like tearing down walls. Plus, its convenience extends to the testing process itself, as fixtures don't need to be moved, making it a hassle-free solution for homeowners.

• Eliminates foul orders: Smoke tests help us eliminate foul odors that linger in and around a home. These odors are caused by gasses; these fumes contaminate the surroundings as they seep through openings in a sewer system. After the tests are done, the air quality is restored.
• Fast results: When compared to old-school leak detection practices, smoke testing is much faster. The vapors provide this advantage because they direct clouds into the air where there are openings in a pipeline. During smoke tests, leaks near a manhole are detected first, and leaks that are located far from the manhole are detected several moments later.
• No destruction: In order to find leaks throughout an entire home while conducting smoke tests, we only have to place our equipment inside one manhole. We never have to tear down walls to find leaks.
• Convenience: You'll never have to move fixtures in order to prepare for a smoke test. The vapors will always find leaks since they travel through pipelines underneath sinks, cabinets, and tubs. If there is a small or large leak somewhere on your property, our smoke tests can help us find it.
