Smell sewer gas in your building and nobody can find where it comes from? Or building something new and need the drains tested before handover? We are a sewer odor detection company that finds the exact source with safe tracer smoke, usually within a few hours. No breaking walls. No guessing.
Welcome to AskA Drain & Odor Detection: We uphold the highest standards of professionalism in delivering industrial drain smoke testing and sewer odor detection to facilities across Saudi Arabia. Our commitment to precision diagnostics protects your people, your property, and your project timelines.Sewer gas is more than a bad smell, it carries hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methane and ammonia. It causes headaches and nausea for your staff, corrodes equipment, and signals a drainage defect that only gets worse. And on new construction, one hidden leak can hold up your municipal sign-off for weeks.
Drain smoke testing is a diagnostic method where safe, non-toxic smoke is blown through a building’s drainage system at low pressure. The smoke follows the same path as escaping sewer gas — so wherever smoke appears (a cracked vent, a dry trap, a broken seal), that is exactly where odors are entering. It locates leaks in hours, without breaking walls.
Non-Toxic & Safe: Tracer smoke that is safe for people, equipment and air-conditioning systems. No stains, no smell left behind.
No Demolition: We find the exact leak point, so your team opens one small area — not the whole building.
Proof You Can File: Every visit ends with a photo report — marked locations and prioritized repair advice for your QA/QC file.
Every engagement starts with the same promise: a precise, visual, photo-documented answer — never guesswork. Here is how our drain smoke testing and sewer odor detection services cover your facility’s needs.
One test. Every pipe. Zero guesswork.
This is our main service, and the one everything else is built on. We pump safe, non-toxic tracer smoke through your drainage network at low pressure. The smoke fills every pipe, trap and vent, then shows itself wherever there is a leak. You watch it happen live, you get photos of every finding, and you know exactly what to fix and where.

We find the smell. Then we prove it.
Your building smells like sewage and nobody can tell you why. We investigate the odor like detectives: we seal the drains, trace the gas paths, and show you the exact entry point. It could be a dry trap, a cracked vent, or a failed seal behind a wall. You stop guessing and start fixing, with photos and a clear report to hand to your maintenance team.

Hidden leaks. Found and marked.
Some leaks never show a wet spot. They hide behind walls, under floor slabs, or inside ceiling voids, quietly letting sewer gas and moisture through. Left alone, they damage finishes and corrode fittings over time. Our drain leak detection pinpoints these hidden leaks and marks the exact location. Your repair team then opens one small area instead of tearing the whole place apart.

Inside lines. Outside lines. All checked.
These are two sides of the same network. Sewer line smoke testing covers your underground and outside lines: the runs between buildings, manholes, and the tie-in to the municipal network. Drain line smoke testing covers the lines inside your building: stacks, branches and floor drains. A leak on either side causes the same problems, so we test both sides and no section goes unchecked.

The test that water tests cannot do.
A water test only checks the low parts of your pipes. It misses the vent pipes and the upper joints, and that is exactly where smells escape. Our plumbing leak smoke test checks the full DWV system (drain, waste, vent) for air leaks. Use it before handover, before sign-off, or any time you need proof the system is sealed. Consultants and municipal inspectors accept this test.

You are about to take over a new building. Our new construction sewer leak test checks the full drainage network before you sign the handover papers. We find pinhole leaks, open joints, missing traps and uncapped pipe ends. It also works as an independent check on your contractor’s work before you release the final payment, so defects get fixed while the team is still on site.

For smells that refuse to be found.

Four simple steps from survey to photo report, usually completed in a single visit.
You describe the smell or the project; we plan the test around your building, safety team and scheduleincluding after hours work for running plants.
We seal the drains and push safe, non-toxic tracer smoke through the network at low pressure, after coordinating fire alarms with your safety team.
Wherever the smoke escapes a cracked vent, dry trap or broken seal sewer gas enters there. We photograph and mark each finding on the spot.
You receive a full report with photos, marked leak locations and repair advice in urgency order, ready for your QA/QC file or handover documents.

Find quick answers to common questions about our services, scheduling, and policies.
How does drain smoke testing find the source of a sewer smell?
We seal your drains and push safe, non-toxic smoke through them at low pressure. The smoke takes the same path the sewer gas takes. So wherever you see smoke coming out, a cracked vent, a dry trap or a broken seal, that is exactly where the smell is getting in. A sewer line smoke testing visit usually shows results
within minutes.
Is the smoke safe for a running facility?
Yes. The smoke is non-toxic. It does not harm people, equipment or air conditioning systems, and it leaves no stains and no smell behind. For areas that run around the clock, we can test during a shutdown or after hours.
Can you test new plumbing before handover?
Yes, and this is one of the main reasons clients call us. Our test finds leaks that water pressure tests miss, before the walls are closed and the contractor leaves the site.
What do we get after the test?
A full report with photos of every leak we found, the exact locations marked, and repair advice listed in order of urgency. You can use it for your QA/QC file or your handover documents.
Which areas in Saudi Arabia do you serve?
We are based in Dammam and Riyadh, and our mobile teams travel across the Kingdom, including Al Khobar, Jubail Industrial City, Jeddah and Yanbu. For clients with several sites, we plan the testing across all locations.
Do you work on private homes?
No. We are an industrial and commercial services provider. Our work is for industrial plants, commercial buildings, new construction projects and institutions, not private homes.
How much does drain smoke testing cost in Saudi Arabia?
Every site is different, so we quote a fixed price after a short call about your building’s size and the problem. The quote is in SAR and agreed before we start — no surprises, no open-ended billing.
What causes sewer smell in buildings?
The usual suspects: dry drain traps, cracked vent pipes, failed wax or rubber seals, uncapped pipe ends, and missing traps. Our smoke test proves which one it is the smoke escapes exactly where the smell gets in.
Is sewer gas dangerous?
Yes. Sewer gas carries hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methane and ammonia. It causes headaches and nausea, corrodes equipment and fittings, and signals a drainage defect that gets worse over time. A persistent smell deserves an investigation, not air freshener.
Can you test while our plant is running?
In most cases, yes. The smoke is non-toxic and leaves no residue, so testing can happen during normal operations. For sensitive or round-the-clock areas, we schedule the test during a shutdown, after hours, or on weekends coordinated with your safety team.

AskA Solution
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
