Smoke Testing for Leak and Odor Detection

Feb. 8, 2022
The Superior® 5E Electric Smoker gently pushes smoke throughout a system to help identify cracks, leaks, and odors.

When testing laterals, building plumbing, or pumping or inspecting septic tanks, smoke testing with the Superior® 5E Electric Smoke Blower from Superior Signal is a quick and effective way to find plumbing faults which lead to odors, leaks and inflow. The smoker easily connects to any cleanout, port, or vent to smoke test the entire system in just a few minutes.

Smoke testing is an effective technique for finding sources of odors and many other faults throughout building plumbing, laterals, and septic systems. The Superior® 5E Electric Smoke Blower gently pushes smoke throughout the system to find cracks and leaks and quickly identify problems. It takes only minutes to set up and seconds to see the results.

The 5E blower creates an appropriate flow of air for testing a building’s plumbing and, when paired with Superior® Smoke Candles, a highly visible, nontoxic smoke can easily be seen and traced. While the visible flow of air can be used to find various leaks, the blower is particularly effective in finding sources of odor. Because both smoke and odor are carried by the air, a smoke test will be able to quickly find the source of an odor problem so that it can be properly resolved.

The durable 5E Electric Smoke Blower comes with an 8’ industrial grade hose, all-steel construction, and a carry handle.

With a total weight of only 15 pounds, the blower is designed to handle big or small jobs in a lightweight, easy-to-move design.

The blower can be run using 120-volt AC or 12-volt DC. Made in the USA, the blower and its smoke candles are a cost-effective solution, ideal for hard-to-find odors, leaks, and other faults. WW
