Gas Line Repair and Replacement in North San Diego County

Gas lines can become damaged just like water lines. However, gas leaks from damaged gas lines are a much more serious problem than water leaks. The leaking gas is highly flammable and can be ignited with a single spark.

A gas leak is a potentially serious and dangerous situation. The most obvious sign that you have a gas leak is that you can smell the gas in the air. Natural gas is odorless but has a distinctive sulfur/rotten eggs smell added that’s almost impossible not to notice.

Signs That You May Have a Gas Leak

Visual signs that you may have a gas leak include dead houseplants or dead patches of grass. Sounds such as hissing or whistling sounds near a gas line can signal a gas leak. You may also begin to experience physical symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and nausea, all of which can be triggered by inhaling natural gas.

Gas Leaks Should Be Treated As an Emergency

If you have a gas leak, it’s important to get out of the house and contact the local gas company immediately. Gas leaks are a common cause of home fires and explosions. To prevent the possibility of fire or explosion, it’s important not to:

• Try to shut off the gas valve yourself.
• Turn any electric switches on or off.
• Strike a match or smoke.
• Use your cell phone, garage door opener, doorbell, telephone, or even a flashlight.
• Try to start or stop any vehicle.

Remember, any spark can ignite the gas.
