Smoke Testing Services – Hamilton & Waikato

Identify Drainage Faults & Illegal Connections with Hydrojet Limited

If you’re dealing with unexplained odours, sewer overflows, or stormwater issues, smoke testing is one of the fastest and most accurate ways to identify hidden problems in your drainage system. At Hydrojet Limited, we provide advanced smoke testing services throughout Hamilton and the greater Waikato region, helping homeowners, councils, and businesses find faults quickly and without destructive digging.

Our team uses non-toxic smoke to safely trace airflow through sewer and stormwater systems, revealing illegal connections, broken pipes, and cross-contamination points that can cause major issues.

What Is Smoke Testing?

Smoke testing is a non-invasive technique where artificial, non-toxic smoke is forced into drainage or sewer lines using controlled air pressure. The smoke escapes through cracks, illegal connections, broken pipes, or faulty seals—revealing the precise location of the issue above ground.

It’s one of the most efficient and affordable ways to test a network of pipes, especially in dense urban areas like Hamilton, where excavation is costly and time-consuming.

What Can Smoke Testing Detect?

• Cracked or damaged underground pipes
• Cross-connections between stormwater and sewer systems
• Illegal residential or commercial drainage connections
• Faulty gully traps, roof downpipes, or vents
• Leaking manholes or joints
• Broken or open sewer laterals on private properties
• Source of sewer smells or unusual odours

Whether you’re trying to find the source of an issue or comply with council inspection requirements, smoke testing provides fast and conclusive results.
