Gas Leak Detection & Repair Service

Effective Gas Leak Detection

If your gas or boiler appliances are not properly fitted or maintained – gas can easily escape. As vital as gas may be for households, it can be very dangerous to your health when there’s a leak exposed at the right levels.

Consequently, such exposure can lead to fire outbreaks and explosion because of its combustible nature.

Preventing Gas Leaks

The first step in preventing a gas leak is to carry out routine maintenance for any existing gas appliances such as water heaters, boilers or cookers. These appliances should be checked periodically to ensure all gas lines and connections are in a good working state.

Leaking gas has a very recognizable smell. It is treated with an additive that makes it recognizable when there’s a leak – it is a good idea to discuss with the family what steps will be taken when a gas leak is suspected. It is critical to know where the gas can be turned off if a leak is suspected due to smelling gas.

If you are shopping for a new appliance be sure to check for labeling that certifies that national safety standards have been met. A contractor can help you select a high-efficiency appliance with low emissions that will fit your needs and budget. When a new gas appliance is purchased the installation must be done by a qualified professional.

A home that has been hit by any form of natural disaster must be carefully inspected for any gas leaks that could have occurred. Earthquakes can displace gas lines, water and silt can destroy gas control valves or twisters can cause trees to fall and damage natural gas tanks. After any serious event, a thorough inspection of gas leaks should be conducted before declaring a home safe.

Accidents occur despite any attempts to prevent gas leaks so a gas leak detector is a good idea. Numerous types of gas detectors can be installed in a home. They range from battery operated wall mounts similar to smoke detectors to complex additions that are part of home security systems. A gas leak detector should be placed as close to a gas source as possible to give as much warning as possible.
