Smoke Testing

Uncover Hidden Plumbing Issues with Smoke Testing

Have you ever noticed a strange, unpleasant odor in your commercial building and couldn't identify its source? Often, the culprit is a hidden sewer leak that can jeopardize your entire plumbing system. At JL Maintenance, we offer an advanced solution to this problem: smoke testing.

What is Smoke Testing?

Smoke testing is a highly effective method for detecting leaks and cracks in your sewer system that are invisible to the human eye. This process involves forcing non-toxic smoke through your pipes. If there is a fracture or leak, the smoke will escape and become visible, allowing our technicians to pinpoint the exact location of the problem.

Why Smoke Testing is Essential

Undetected sewer leaks can lead to significant issues, including:

• Health Risks: Sewer gases can pose serious health risks, causing respiratory problems and other illnesses.
• Structural Damage: Continuous water leakage can damage the foundation and structure of your building.
• High Repair Costs: Identifying leaks early can save you from costly repairs in the future.

By conducting a smoke test, you can prevent these issues before they escalate into major problems.

Our Smoke Testing Process

Our team at JL Maintenance follows a systematic approach to smoke testing:

1. Preparation: We start by sealing off the area around the pipes to ensure the smoke doesn't escape through unintended openings.
2. Injection: We then inject a special, non-toxic smoke into the sewer system.
3. Detection: Our experienced technicians monitor the pipes closely, identifying any points where the smoke exits, indicating a leak or crack.
4. Reporting: After the test, we provide a detailed report of our findings, along with recommended solutions to fix the identified issues.
