About Norlab Tracing Dyes in Lorain, OH

During a plumbing inspection, our tracing dyes are added to the water system. They travel through pipes and visibly color any water escaping from leaks. This makes even small, hidden leaks behind walls or under slabs easy to identify for your plumber, saving time and preventing guesswork during the diagnostic process.

Yes, absolutely. All Norlab tracing dyes are non-toxic and biodegradable. They are specifically formulated to be safe for use in septic system inspections and will not harm the system's biological processes or contribute to pollution, making them a responsible choice for Lorain homeowners.

While dyes don't remove scaling, they can help identify leaks *caused* by mineral buildup that may have damaged seals or connections. For a leaking toilet seal, adding dye to the tank is a standard method. If color appears in the bowl without flushing, it confirms the flapper seal is leaking—a simple test any homeowner can perform with our products.
