ADVANCED SMOKE TESTING AND DIAGNOSTICS
Identifying problems in your sewer and drainage systems is essential to avoid costly repairs or service interruptions. At Excavac, we use modern, reliable diagnostic methods to locate anomalies quickly and efficiently.
- Smoke testing: This technique involves injecting non-toxic smoke into pipes to identify leaks, infiltrations or illegal connections. It’s ideal for quickly pinpointing problem areas without disrupting the network.
- Camera inspection: We use high-resolution cameras to explore inside pipes, detecting cracks, obstructions and other faults.
- Pressure and tightness tests: These analyses enable us to check the solidity of infrastructures and locate structural weaknesses before they worsen.
By combining these techniques, we provide a comprehensive diagnosis that enables you to make informed decisions about the maintenance and repair of your infrastructure.

YOUR QUESTIONS
What is a sewer worker and what is his role?
A sewer worker is a professional responsible for maintaining, cleaning and repairing the underground networks of pipes that evacuate wastewater and rainwater. His or her role is essential to ensure the smooth operation of sewerage systems and prevent blockages or leaks that could lead to health or environmental problems.
Why is regular maintenance of sewers and cesspools important?
Regular maintenance of sewers and cesspools is crucial to prevent blockages, flooding and unpleasant odors. A poorly maintained system can lead to costly problems, health hazards and property damage. Periodic inspection and cleaning help keep water flowing smoothly and extend the life of the system.
What methods are used to diagnose problems in sewage systems?
Professionals use several techniques to diagnose problems in sewer systems, including:
Camera inspection: A camera is inserted into the pipe to view its interior condition and detect obstructions, cracks or other anomalies.
Smoke test: Injection of non-toxic smoke into the network to identify leaks or illegal connections by observing the smoke exit points.
Pressure testing: checking the tightness of pipes by measuring their ability to maintain a stable pressure.
These methods make it possible to pinpoint problems and plan targeted interventions.
What is smoke testing of sewage systems, and when is it recommended?
Smoke testing involves injecting non-toxic smoke into sewer pipes to detect leaks, infiltrations or inappropriate connections. The smoke escapes through undesirable openings, indicating problem areas. This test is recommended when there are suspected leaks, stormwater infiltration in the sewer system, or to check the conformity of installations during new construction or renovation.
How to prevent blockages in sewer systems and cesspools?
To prevent obstructions, we recommend :
Avoid disposing of solid waste in sinks or toilets, such as wipes, grease, oil or food scraps.
Install screens over openings to prevent debris from entering the pipes.
Regularly clean drains and sumps to eliminate potential build-up.
Schedule periodic inspections with professionals to detect and treat problems before they become serious.
These preventive measures help to maintain the efficiency and longevity of sanitation systems.
What are the costs associated with hydro-excavation?
Hydro-excavation costs vary according to a number of factors, including project size and complexity, soil type, site accessibility and duration of work. Although the initial investment may be higher than for traditional methods, the advantages in terms of precision, safety and damage reduction can result in long-term savings.
