What happens here

Ascend to the roof and locate all plumbing vent pipe outlets. To effectively isolate the system for the smoke test, use a strong, waterproof adhesive tape to completely seal the opening of all but one vent pipe. This forces the smoke to travel through the entire system and exit only through the intended vent or any undiscovered leaks.

Goal: Isolate the plumbing vent system

Tools and materials

  • Duct Tape Gorilla — Sealing the vent pipe openings

What they say

Hide

These guys have had a bad sewer smell in their house. So I've got my little pack out, shop back here. We're gonna turn this into a blower, and we're gonna blow some smoke down the fence. We're gonna block off three vents, and we're gonna blow our smoke down another one. We're using gorilla tape today. You can use any kind of tape, I think. Here where the hose connects to this, a little lock and unlock. Just slide that over to the right, and that's gonna pop out here, the air intake.
