A leaking kitchen exhaust duct is more than just a maintenance headache—it is a severe fire hazard and a leading cause of foul odors and grease damage in building interiors. EKG M & E Sdn Bhd provides specialized Kitchen Duct Leakage Testing, using industry-standard diagnostic methods to ensure your extraction system is "liquid-tight" and safe for operation. Whether for new installations or aging systems, our testing identifies hidden gaps before they lead to costly property damage.
The "Light Test" (Standard Compliance) As per NFPA 96 requirements, we perform high-intensity light tests by passing a powerful lamp through the duct interior while inspecting the exterior for light "leakage" at welds and joints.
Air Pressure Leakage Testing (DW/143 Standards) For high-performance or high-rise ducts, we use specialized duct leakage testers to pressurize the system and measure the "leakage rate" against industry-allowable limits, ensuring airtight integrity.
Smoke Testing & Visualization We utilize non-toxic, high-density smoke generators to fill the ductwork. Escaping smoke clearly pinpoints microscopic cracks or failed gaskets that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye.
Identification of "Grease Weeping" Points Our technicians trace existing oil stains on ceiling boards and wall cavities back to their source, identifying failed longitudinal welds or compromised transverse joints.
Access Panel & Gasket Integrity Check We inspect all clean-out doors and access panels to ensure they are fitted with heat-resistant, grease-tight gaskets and that the clamping mechanisms provide a uniform seal.
Post-Test Weld & Sealant Repair Upon identifying leaks, our skilled welders provide on-site rectifications using continuous liquid-tight welding or fire-rated high-temperature sealants to restore the duct's integrity.
Comprehensive Compliance Documentation We issue a formal Leakage Test Report, which is essential for building handover, insurance validation, and BOMBA fire safety certification.
Engineering Precision As an M&E firm, we don't just find leaks; we understand the "static pressure" dynamics that cause them. We ensure your ductwork can handle the suction force of your fans without bowing or failing.
Advanced Diagnostic Tools We use professional-grade manometers and smoke generators to provide data-backed results, moving beyond simple visual inspections to guarantee a 100% leak-proof system.
Strategic Support in KL & PJ We specialize in testing complex duct runs in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya shopping malls, hotels, and high-rise apartments where leak prevention is a non-negotiable safety requirement.
