Do What's Right with Your Gas Lines 

The government has implemented strict regulations to maintain and repair gas lines to prevent leaks and other dangerous situations. You must strictly adhere to prescribed procedures and city ordinances in your jurisdiction. Typically, an outdoor natural gas line necessitates a permit, accompanied by an inspection by authorized personnel, to ensure proper installation.

Are You at Risk with that Smell?

If you detect an odor like rotten eggs or sulfur, it may indicate a gas leak. Similarly, hissing or blowing sounds can also signal the presence of a gas leak. At the same time, dead plants near gas lines may also indicate a gas leak. Natural gas contains methane, which can kill vegetation if exposed for long periods. As well as, the bubbles in water may be caused by leaking natural gas displacing the water and creating air pockets in the water source. Furthermore, if you can inspect the pipes leading into and out of your home's natural gas system, look for visible damage, such as cracks or holes, which could indicate leaks have occurred over time due to wear and tear on the pipes.

From fires and explosions to the invisible threat of carbon monoxide poisoning, countless hazards can arise from a poorly installed gas line. That's why make sure a qualified professional does any gas line work with the proper training, experience, and equipment.
