Smoke Testing in Richmond, BC
Non-toxic theatrical smoke is introduced into the drainage or vent system. Smoke exiting through leaks, cracks, or faulty connections reveals their location.
Smoke testing is an effective method for locating leaks in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems, as well as for identifying sources of sewer gas odours. Non-toxic, odourless theatrical smoke is introduced into the system using a smoke machine connected to a roof vent, clean-out, or other access point. A specialized blower forces the smoke through the system at low pressure. Wherever there is a leak, crack, or faulty connection, smoke will escape and become visible. This method is particularly effective for finding vent system leaks, identifying illegal connections that allow sewer gas entry, and verifying the integrity of DWV systems in new construction.
