- What Is Plumbing Smoke Testing?
Plumbing smoke testing is a proven diagnostic method that uses artificial, non-toxic smoke to identify cracks, leaks, and faulty connections in plumbing and sewer systems. By forcing smoke through your pipes, our technicians can quickly detect problem areas, often in minutes saving you both time and repair costs.
Why Choose Plumbing Smoke Testing for Leak Detection
Locate Odor Sources in Minutes
Persistent odors in your home or business can be more than unpleasant, they can signal serious plumbing issues. Since smoke travels the same path as odors, plumbing smoke testing can trace the problem to its exact origin within minutes, eliminating the guesswork of traditional inspection methods.
Detect Plumbing Issues Early
The best time to address a plumbing problem is before it escalates. Plumbing smoke testing can reveal:
- Cracked or damaged pipes
- Leaks and poor pipe connections
- Improper venting issues
- Blockages or obstructions
By identifying these issues early, you can prevent costly repairs and water damage.
Verify New Plumbing Installations
For new installation or remodels, plumbing smoke testing ensures that all pipe connections are properly sealed and vented. This proactive approach prevents future leaks, odors, and code violations, protecting your investment from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing Smoke Testing
1. Is plumbing smoke testing safe?
Yes. We use non-toxic, non-staining, and odorless artificial smoke designed specifically for plumbing diagnostics. It’s completely safe but we highly recommend people with any type of breathing issues and pets be out of the house during the test but can return shortly after.
2. How long does a plumbing smoke test take?
Most tests take about an hour, depending on the size of your property. Results are immediate, allowing repairs to begin right away if an issue is found.
3. Will the smoke enter my living areas?
If the system is sealed and vented correctly, smoke should only appear where leaks or issues exist. Our technicians monitor the process to ensure accuracy and safety.
4. When should I consider smoke testing?
Schedule a test if you notice persistent odors, suspect leaks, are buying a property, rodent issues or have completed new plumbing work. Early detection prevents expensive repairs later.
5. Can smoke testing detect sewer line problems?
Absolutely. Smoke testing is highly effective for identifying breaks, cracks, and faulty connections in both indoor plumbing and outdoor sewer lines.
