Precision Locating is a leader
in the field of sewer odor detection.
Smoke testing is used when
the source of the leak is concealed or cannot be located by any electronic means. There is no limit to the possibilities of
smoke testing. If you can fill it with smoke, you can test it. It can show you not only where water and gases exit a system,
but also where unwanted inflow of rainwater enters a line, creating an extra burden on the system. Smoke testing shows you
what a video inspection camera cannot see, can pinpoint what a locator cannot pinpoint and introduces your sense of smell
into the testing process. In most cases the building drain does not need to be capped and that is a real time saving advantage
over water testing. Another advantage is that smoke testing requires no plumbing work for set-up and allows you to test the
total system under normal usage conditions. All traps are left in place so their water seal can be tested.
What sets Precision Locating apart
from rest? We only use laboratory tested* LiquiSmoke. It is the safest and cleanest way to smoke test commercial and
residential buildings. LiquiSmoke DOES NOT contain toxic compounds
like "zinc chloride" (the active ingredient in smoke bombs). Click on the links below for the MSDS and a report
on liquiSmoke.
Restaurants
are notorious for rotten traps under floor sinks and floor drains. Precision
Locating can easily identify failing trap primers,cracked or broken vent lines, missing clean out
plugs. Smoke testing can be used to inspect HVAC systems, tanks and just about anyplace where water testing is not appropriate
or a quick test is needed.
