When it comes to protecting your property, business, or local council infrastructure from costly water damage and hidden sewer issues, smoke testing is one of the most effective tools available.
At Statewide Wastewater, in partnership with our plumbing arm Hughes Plumbing Contractors, we recently carried out a professional smoke testing project in Yatala QLD.
The goal: to detect sewer and stormwater cross connections, water ingress points, and major breaks in the sewer line.
What is Smoke Testing of Sewers?
Smoke testing is a proven method used across Queensland to quickly locate faults in underground sewer systems. Non-toxic smoke is pumped into the sewer lines, and wherever the smoke escapes, it highlights:
Cracks and breaks in pipes
Stormwater connections into sewer systems
Defective gully traps and drains
Unauthorised or illegal connections
Water ingress points causing overflows
It’s fast, accurate, and saves thousands in unnecessary excavation.
Why Smoke Testing Was Needed in Yatala
Yatala, sitting between Logan and the Gold Coast, has a mix of industrial estates, businesses, and residential properties. With high groundwater levels and heavy rainfall, sewer systems here are prone to:
Stormwater entering sewer lines
Overflow during peak wet seasons
Infrastructure strain on old or damaged pipes
By carrying out smoke testing in Yatala, we helped pinpoint hidden issues before they could cause environmental damage, costly fines, or business downtime.
