This is notification of smoke testing on Friday, January 16, 2026 at 1:00 P.M. at Woodridge Apartments.
Smoke testing is a safe, quick way to find areas of the sewer system that need updating. The
smoke used in the test has no odor, not harmful to your health, and will disappear in a few
minutes.
The test consists of blowing a harmless colored vapor into the sanitary sewer manholes and
observing the points where the smoke exits. The smoke is expected to exit from manholes and
the sewer stack at the top of your house.
The smoke should not enter your home if it is properly plumbed and if your sink and drain traps
contain water. The purpose of the testing is to find potential points of inflow and infiltration in the sanitary
sewer system.
Should you see smoke in your house, please call 919-658-9539 Ext. 106
