When To Call for Gas Line Leak Repair
Many Bensalem, PA, homeowners rely on natural gas to power appliances like water heaters, washing machines, and furnaces. And while natural gas is generally safe, there’s always a possibility that something could go wrong. Here’s what to watch for.
- Rotten Egg Odor: Natural gas is odorless and colorless, so suppliers add a chemical to give it a rotten egg or sulfur odor to alert people of leaks. If you smell this in the home, get out and call a plumber.
- Dying Houseplants: It’s difficult to detect minor gas leaks from the odor, but there could be other clues that something is wrong. As leaks continue, it removes oxygen, possibly leading to your houseplants dying. Call a gas leak detection company to investigate if your otherwise healthy plants suddenly turn brown and wilt.
- Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Symptoms: Prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide from a leaking gas line can cause physical symptoms like headaches, fatigue, nausea, and weakness. If these symptoms disappear when you leave the house, an undetected gas leak could be the culprit.
