Water and gas leaks are quite rampant during the summer times, and unfortunately, most first-time homeowners are still unaware of how to detect water and gas leaks.

Performing a gas leak inspection

Gas leaks are usually the most serious leaks in homes, and they can be very silent in nature. Since gas leaks can increase the risks of fire accidents and carbon monoxide poison you must conduct a check to protect the members of your household. When a gas leak is undetected, gas pockets can be created in the atmosphere and can be ignited at any time, causing serious fire destruction.

Gas leaks can be detected indoors in three ways, and the first is by sight. Most gas leaks occur near the water base, and when examined with the years, you will notice gas bubbling close to the water. Another way to check gas leak is through sound indicators. If there is quietness around the area of a gas leak, you should notice a slight hissing sound coming out of the pipe. The use of your smelling sense is the third way you can detect a gas leak. Though gas is odorless in nature the rotten-egg smell is deliberately added to signal a damage to a gas line or any other form of gas problem. If you recognize any of these signs of gas leaks, make sure you turn off all electric breakers controlling the homes electrical system and then contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Youngstown for a professional gas leak repair.
