Features and Benefits of Drain Dyes
Regularly testing your drains is important because it ensures that it is completely free of any leaks or blockages before the operation continues. Detecting any leaks that could lead to water damage, structural damage or health hazards is extremely important; on top of detecting leaks and hazards for health reasons, finding these early can also help to save money. Identifying issues in drains during the testing phase can help to be cost-saving in the long run; fixing any issues after the system has been put into operation can be more expensive and disruptive.
Drain dyes are coloured liquids that are used to test the flow and condition of drains and sewer systems. Usually designed to be easily visible in the water, drain dyes are often brightly coloured with selections like red, green, blue or yellow. Typically, drain dyes will be used to identify the locations of any blockages or leaks in systems, the drain dye will be poured into a plumbing system, whether it be a toilet, sink or any other drain, and the dye should then flow out any damaged part of the pipe, making the issues easy to locate. Measuring the time it takes for the drain dye to travel through the system can help estimate the flow rate and determine whether or not the system is functioning efficiently and properly. Another popular way of checking for issues in plumbing is with the drain testing kits that we offer here at the Drainage Shop, with these including all the essential pieces of drain testing equipment.
