Smoke Testing
Smoke testing is a process where sewer/home land testing are
blocked off from the side and filled with smoke to visually
detect leaks, or breaks in a pipe.
Some of the reasons for using smoke testing are:
 Low
cost and efficient way to locate infiltration problems in
sewer/home land systems- Helps to identify plumbing problems in buildings
- Good way to track piping systems
- Can find buildings with illegal downspout, cellar, yard
and foundation drain connections
- Spot out illegal sump pump discharge into sanitary and
storm sewers
- Smoke used for testing is non-toxic
- Great in low flow systems
