About Smoke Testing

Smoke testing uses a white, non-toxic vapour to identify potential cracks, gaps, and connections where inflow and infiltration (I&I) of rainwater or groundwater is entering the sanitary sewer system. Identifying and repairing I&I sources, in both public and private infrastructure systems, is part of ongoing efforts to reduce sanitary wastewater treatment costs and basement flooding in Lakeshore.
