Pipe Smoke Testing Stormwater & Sewer Systems

Pipe Smoke Testing from Shenandoah is one of the oldest, most reliable and cost-effective methods for testing pipes, stormwater and sewer systems. This is just one way in which the technicians at Shenandoah can assist you in locating and mapping faults within your sanitary sewer system and pipes. Smoke pipe testing isn’t just for older systems as newly installed pipe systems also need to be tested to ensure, they were properly installed. Call or contact Shenandoah and let us test your system

Testing your pipes helps to isolate where failures exist, allowing you to develop a strategic plan for rehabilitating your infrastructure.

How Does Smoke Pipe Testing Work?

As the name implies, the process involves introducing smoke (non-toxic) into a sanitary sewer system. A smoke generating device produces the smoke which is then forced into a segment of the sewer line with high powered blowers. Trained technicians then look for smoke where it is able to exit the system. This allows us to map those locations for inspection and repair. In this way we can identify leaks that will allow unwanted water inflow into the system.

Z

Leaking Manholes

Z

Abandoned Sewer Lines

Z

Unconnected Sewer Lines

Z

Broken Laterals

Z

Cross Connected Storm Lines

Z

Cross Connected Sanitary Lines
