SMOKE TESTING FOR BUILDINGS

Are you responsible for a building that is designed to contain odours? If so, you should consider regular smoke testing services as part of your best practice procedures. More often than not, operators are unaware of odour leakage until it becomes advanced and problematic. But if you employ proactive and regular smoke testing, you can ensure your buildings are suitable for their intended purpose. In turn, this can help you meet your air quality obligations and adhere to your operating permits. Ultimately, this could save you time, money and a great deal of hassle.

IDENTIFY INVISIBLE ISSUES

Fugitive odours escape through gaps and flaws in the construction of buildings. Even in extreme examples, you cannot detect containment issues using sight alone. Instead, you can use smoke testing services to identify leakage points. 

The process works by using a non-toxic vapour to fill the building. After this, our odour consultants carry out a comprehensive inspection of the building’s structural components. In doing so, we can identify where leaks are occurring. We then provide a complete report highlighting issues and suggest corrective action.

Typically, we complete two smoke tests to help gain a complete picture of the situation within your building. First, with all standard air extraction and ventilation systems operational and a second time without. We use still images and videos to record any evidence of leaks.
