  3. If it is safe to do so, turn off the gas at the mains tap, usually found near the meter.
  4. Call the gas company, 911, or utility company’s emergency number. (DO NOT make this call from inside the house, as this could potentially ignite the gas.)

Finding Hidden Gas Leaks: 

How can you detect a gas leak in your home?

A gas leak in your home can be extremely dangerous. Natural gas leaks are often left undetected, simply because many do not know the warning signs to look out for. To prevent a large-scale gas leak and explosion from happening in your home or business, you should learn how to detect a gas leak. This is easier said than done, however, as it can be dangerous to stay in a home after a gas leak is evident. One way to detect a gas leak is by checking your appliances. Gas stoves showing orange or red flames even after the stove has been lit can be a sign of a gas leak. A teaspoon of dish detergent mixed with one cup of water applied to wherever the leak is suspected can also show you where the gas leak is coming from. Simply look for bubbles forming! A gas leak detector can also be purchased that do the dirty work for you.

Signs of a Natural Gas Leak

A hissing or whistling sound coming from your appliances and gas lines is a common sign of a gas leak, along with visible damage to a gas line connection. The smell of sulfur is another easy way to detect a gas leak in your home, and even a suddenly dying houseplant can let you know that a gas leak exists. If you suspect a gas leak in your home, take the steps listed above and then call Rick’s Plumbing to fix the problem area!

Causes of a Natural Gas Leak

A natural gas leak in your home is often caused by faulty appliances, poorly fitted lines, or improperly maintained appliances. If a seal has gone bad, for instance, it can very easily lead to gas buildup and leaking around the problem area. When you suspect a gas leak, it’s important to get to the root of the problem as quickly as possible to prevent the risk of explosion and major property damage. Rick’s Plumbing has the experience and expertise needed to detect gas leaks and repair them quickly.
