About Smoke Testing
Smoke testing uses non-toxic, odourless artificial smoke introduced into drain, vent, or sewer systems under low pressure to visually identify where smoke escapes, indicating a leak path or illegal connection.
The smoke follows the same path that sewer gases would take, making it ideal for detecting DWV system leaks, identifying roof vent breaches, locating illegal storm-to-sanitary cross-connections, and tracing unknown pipe routes.
The coloured smoke is harmless to people, pets, and building materials and dissipates quickly without staining.
