Gas Line Issues Must Be Addressed as Soon as Possible

If you have a gas leak, you may notice the following signs: 

• Smell of sulfur or rotten eggs
• Hissing sound coming from gas pipes
• Dead or discolored vegetation around gas pipes
• Unusual bubbles in your water
• Visibly damaged gas pipes

If you notice any of the signs included in the list above, get help immediately. It is important that you get yourself and your family away from the leak. Do not use your cell phone in the vicinity of the leak. Do not turn on any appliance or lights if you suspect a leak. Call 911 and your utility company to report the leak as soon as you are a safe distance away. 

Even if you do not notice any of the signs included in the list above, you could still be experiencing a gas leak. Physical symptoms can be a clue as to the presence of a gas leak. 

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it is important to check for a gas leak in your home: 

• Nausea
• Headache
• Difficulty breathing
• Dizziness
• Nosebleeds

The above symptoms indicate the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning. Gas leaks or even improperly installed appliances can cause carbon monoxide to build up in your home. You should ensure that your home is equipped with carbon monoxide sensors in order to quickly detect an increase in this odorless gas. 

Staying on top of your gas line maintenance is extremely important in keeping you and your family safe. We recommend annual maintenance and regular inspections of your gas line in order to keep ahead of issues.
