To be able to maintain your gas lines properly, it’s important to understand what exactly they are and how they serve your home. Gas lines are pipes that connect a gas appliance to a natural gas source. The source is usually a municipal meter that is situated somewhere on your property.
Any appliance you have in your home that uses gas is equipped with a gas pipeline that runs to a meter. Without these gas lines, it would be impossible to properly power any appliance that runs on gas. These lines must go through regular maintenance to ensure the safety and productivity of your home.
If the piping was installed properly and you make a point to take good care of the appliances in your home, you rarely have to worry about a gas leak happening. Though that may be the case most of the time, there are still ways that a leak can occur, and you must know how to spot the signs of a leak. Evidence of a gas leak could be:
Once you begin to notice any of these signs, you must act fast for the safety of your home and everyone in it. When gas line issues begin to cause problems for you and your home, give HomeX Plumbing and Rooter a call! We understand the dangers of gas leaks so we keep our services as accessible as possible.
Like almost all sources of energy, natural gas can become dangerous if it’s not handled properly. Being able to recognize the signs of a gas leak is the first of many steps to take in the event of a gas leak. Once you’ve identified that a gas leak is happening take the following steps:
You’ve smelt the rotten eggs or heard the hissing noises, now it’s time to get out! At the point you realize you may be experiencing a leak, there’s no telling how serious the leak is or how long it’s going to take to get serious. To be safe, get yourself and everyone else out of the house to limit any exposure to gas.
If possible, on your way out, open any door or window you pass and allow it to stay open until you’re in the clear. This allows the natural gas to vent outdoors and limits exposure opportunities. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
Once everyone is safely out of the house and at a safe distance, call for help. Call 911 and your gas service company to come out and handle the situation. Once they’re gone and you’ve got the all-clear, contact the professionals at HomeX Plumbing and Rooter for further assistance!
