Let Pump Outs Unlimited do your SSES Plan A report and Plan B report.

The first step in any successful SSES is to perform flow monitoring. This flow data can be utilized to either determine if there is sufficient capacity for service expansion or to identify areas with high levels of I/I For an I/I study the flow data can pinpoint the areas with the highest levels of I/I so that more precise field testing can be performed to identify specific locations of storm water intrusion. This approach leads to reduced costs and a more effective remediation plan.

Pump Outs: Smoke Testing

Plumbing smoke tests are also used to find places where pipes will spill fluid, and to check sanitary sewer systems for places where ground water and storm runoff can enter. Smoke testing is particularly useful in places such as ventilated sanitary sewer systems, where completely sealing the system is not practical.

When smoke testing a sanitary sewer system it is helpful to partially block off the section of sewer to be tested. This can be done by using a sand bag on the end of a rope. The sand bag is lowered into the manhole and swung into position to partially block lines. Completely blocking the line can cause water to back up and prevent smoke from escaping through defects. Smoke testing may not be done after rain or when ground water is unusually high as this may also prevent detection of defects.

If you are in need for a Smoke test, give our office a call and we will be more than glad to help you with the service that you need. Give our office a call at 305.620.7005 or visit our website pumpoutsunlimited.com.
