Smoke Testing
RAD Utility Inspections delivers excellent work with top-notch advanced equipment across North Texas and neighboring states.
Smoke Testing is a non-invasive diagnostic technique used primarily in plumbing and sewer systems to identify leaks, defects, and unauthorized connections. This service is particularly beneficial for municipalities, environmental agencies, and companies responsible for managing sewer and drainage infrastructure. It is an effective tool for both maintenance and troubleshooting, helping to preserve the integrity of sewer systems and prevent environmental contamination.
The process involves introducing artificially created, non-toxic smoke into the sewer lines. This smoke is harmless to humans, pets, and the environment. As the smoke travels through the sewer system, it follows the path of least resistance and escapes through any cracks, leaks, or faulty connections. The visible smoke at the surface indicates the problem areas, allowing for precise identification of defects without the need for extensive excavation or disruption.
Smoke testing is especially useful for detecting issues in hard-to-reach areas like underground pipes, beneath buildings, or in landscaped areas. It helps in identifying problems such as cracked pipes, loose joints, or illegal connections that could lead to sewer gas leaks or groundwater contamination. This method is also a valuable tool for community education, as it visually demonstrates how stormwater can infiltrate sewer systems, leading to overflows and environmental pollution.
