Learn the Three Steps to Recognizing a Gas Leak
There are three elements of recognizing a gas leak that everyone should know about. They are:
- Look. If you see that there is a damaged connection to a natural gas appliance, a dry patch of grass, a fire or explosion near a pipeline, or dirt or water blowing into the air, then this could be a sign of a gas leak.
- Listen. Unusual sounds such as hissing or whistling can be signs of gas leaks.
- Smell. Natural gas is naturally odorless but has a smell added for easier detection. If you notice this rotten-egg smell, then you likely have a gas leak.
Again, do not wait to contact Preferred Plumbing and Rooter Service at (877) 298-8105 when you need gas leak repair.
What to Do if You Think There is a Gas Leak
If you determine that it is likely you have a gas leak, then you should follow this advice:
- Get out of the area with the leak
Call Preferred Plumbing and Rooter Service at (877) 298-8105 - Do not try to shut off the valve yourself
- Do not turn any electric switches on or off
- Do not use your cell phone, garage door opener, doorbell, telephone, or even a flashlight in the vicinity of the leak
- Do not strike a match or smoke
- Do not try to start or stop any vehicle
Never assume that someone else is reporting a leak – always call for help right away.
