Drain Smoke Testing Elanora Heights

Drain Smoke Testing is a simple and efficient system to locate and identify where unauthorised water is entering into the system by the use of smoke. When under pressure, the smoke will fill the main line, as well as any auxiliary connections. Drain Smoke Testing is increasingly becoming a requirement in many jurisdictions for locating unauthorised water concerns that are a threat for water safety. This has happened mostly because of its simplicity and effectiveness. Features and Benefits The smoke is non-toxic; it does not stain. It is also odourless and harmless to humans, pets, plants, food and goods. However, individuals with emphysema, chronic asthma or other respiratory conditions should avoid direct exposure. It is a cost-effective way to find areas that need to be improved. It can also help locate buildings that have downspout, cellar, yard or basement drains, and sump pumps. Drain Smoke Testing can identify points of ground or surface water intrusion into the sewer. Any cross connections between sanitary, sewers and storm drains, and defective sewer connections could allow sewer gases into a building. Because the smoke is a mist that contains a significant proportion of atmospheric moisture, it usually disappears rapidly. It can, however, trigger smoke detectors. Drain Smoke Testing is a technique that can be used to locate different defects within the pipes. This may include underground radar, finding leaks and blockages, and isolating roots growing in underground pipes. It is a simple and reliable process especially when you get the right Contractor for the job.
