Gas Leak Detection and Repair in Longview
Natural gas is a common and increasingly popular method of power and heating for more homes.
Homeowners who choose propane or another natural gas system can experience cleaner, more efficient power, faster cooking and water heating times, and generally have lower monthly utility expenses. Moreover, although Hollywood makes gas-powered homes seem like a ticking time bomb, many homeowners experience a better utility use without worry for longer. This does not mean, however, that gas leaks are not dangerous. When gas seeps out of a line or fixture unnoticed, it can pose a serious threat. Most of the time the leak is too faint to detect a smell and the gas is colorless. This means that the gas could spill out for hours before a homeowner becomes aware of the problem. Gas line leaks put your family at risk by being incredibly flammable, as well as posing serious health risks with symptoms as mild as headaches and as severe as death.
While most homeowners are not at risk, it is always helpful to know what symptoms to look for to help prevent such problems from occurring. Most commonly, gas leaks are caused by the very appliances that they are hooked up to. Whether it was a faulty installation, or the hook up has become loose over time, it is rare for gas to simply appear without an improper connection somewhere. This is most commonly found in the kitchen, where a stove or other cooking device has become damaged or corroded. |
