Smoke and Dye Testing
Widmer Engineering Inc. has been involved with dye testing of municipal sewer systems
for over twenty years. We have in-house smoke blowers and digital cameras to
document the smoke entering the atmosphere from leaking pipes. Through the use of
dye, we can track downspouts and area drains to determine the sources of inflow. We
have a 100 gallon water buffalo to provide water for the dye testing so that we do not
need to bother the residents for water to test their downspouts or area drains. We have
smoke and dye tested five complete municipalities within Beaver County alone. The
finished report is complete with color pictures documenting the sources of inflow and
potential sources of infiltration. With the use of internal televising equipment we can
correlate the surface evidence to the condition of the pipe underground. With minimal
interruption to the traveling public, we can pin point problem areas and save clients’
dollars by not replacing pipe which is not in need of replacement.
Widmer Engineering Inc. is not in the business of performing corrections to the systems,
but rather providing the necessary data to cost effectively implement a sewer
rehabilitation program. Whether or not your municipality requires outside engineering
experience or not, we can provide an alternative to the other inspection companies out
there today by providing professional engineering opinions with respect to the existing
condition and potential problem areas within a municipality’s sewer system. Occasionally,
some municipalities do not own their own flush trucks. If you are in need of flushing
services too, we maintain excellent relationships with our subconsultants. They will join
our team for your convenience and flushing needs.
We do not grout pipe, slip line pipe or sell any product other than our professional
services nor do we have any relationship with any vendor or supplier of said remedies.
