Things to Watch Out For to See if Your Gas Line is Leaking

March 21, 2018 by Wickstrom Plumbing

Gas Line Repair - fixing a gas line

If you have a gas line leak, it is imperative that you call a professional for gas line repair service in Boise as soon as possible. Gas leaks come with the risk of fire and explosion, and this can cause serious injury to yourself and others and damage to your property. However, gas is clear, and it can be difficult to detect a leak if you do not know what you are looking for. By understanding what the signs of a gas leak are, you can more easily determine if you need to take action.

Common Signs of a Gas Leak

There are several common signs of a gas leak that may indicate the need for an immediate diagnostic and repair service. Gas may be clear, but it has a strong, pungent odor that many describe as being akin to rotten eggs. If you have noticed this smell with no explanation for it, gas may be the cause. You often can hear gas escaping from a leak in the pipe, and this is particularly true inside the home. If you notice a hissing sound near one of your gas-based appliances, you may have a leak. Another sign is dead or dying vegetation along the length of the pipeline or in a localized area over a small section of the pipe. You have to know where the pipe runs in your yard to make this determination.

If You Notice Signs of a Potential Leak

If you have noticed any of these signs of a potential gas leak, it is important to get out of the home immediately and to call for gas line repair service. You should not attempt to re-enter the home until the gas line service professional has told you that it is safe to return. This is because the risk of explosion from combustible gas is high when there is a leak.

As a Boise homeowner, you want to take excellent care of your property. Some signs of damage may be obvious, such as a water leak and related water damage. Other signs of damage, such as a gas leak, may require you to be more observant. Now that you are aware of the signs of a gas leak, you will know when to call a professional for diagnostic and repair service in Boise.
