What is smoke testing used for?
Drain smoke testing is a cutting-edge plumbing technique, and we are able to identify many drainage issues that would go undetected with other methods. Cracked pipes, cross-connections, badly-installed drainage systems and escaped sewer gas are all common plumbing problems that we use smoke testing to identify. It can also be used to identify issues within the structure of your home, such as leaks under your floors, in walls and concrete slabs. Smoke testing is used for a variety of plumbing needs.
​
Sometimes we may uncover more serious issues with plumbing systems as a result of smoke testing. In the past, we have found illegally installed stormwater drains, unsealed pipes, presence of leaks and cross contamination in drain systems and badly-connected downpipes while undertaking our smoke testing procedure. However, there’s no need to worry. ​
