Gas Leak Detection

An undetected gas leak can lead to devastating consequences. If you don’t have a gas leak detector installed in your house, watch out for these indications to detect a gas leak. The first and most basic indicator is if there is an unusual smell such as that of rotten eggs. To be sure, listen for any hissing or whistling sound which indicates that a gas line is ruptured. Other indicators are bubbles in standing water, swirling dirt with the absence of wind, and discoloured vegetation.

When and why people need gas leak inspection

If you are getting higher gas bills, chances are that you have a small gas leak. This gas leak may not be dangerous enough to cause an explosion or even does not produces a “rotten egg” smell but this leak is surely costing you a lot of money. However, the small gas leak may have the potential to turn into a more hazardous situation so getting a gas leak inspection should be your number one priority. These leaks are undetectable to the tools available at your nearest store. Therefore, to detect these supposedly “undetectable” leaks, you should seek out a professional service which follows a comprehensive approach to eliminate any personal and financial loss.

When to consider replacing

Old gas line infrastructure is more susceptible to breakage or leakage. Their age plays a significant factor in their durability. If your gas pipes fall under this category, you should consider getting a replacement before things get out of hand. After all, prevention is better than cure. Moreover, if your gas shutoff valve shows any signs of corrosion or is too old that it probably has already corroded, you should get it replaced ASAP. It is also advised to replace the gas infrastructure because of the latest innovations and technological advancements. New and advanced material available in the market has significant benefits over old ones. Don’t wait for a gas leakage to happen and the inevitable loss that follows. Call a professional from CJ Plumbing & Heating to assess your current infrastructure and carry out a replacement, if necessary.
