When you’re facing a gas line repair or replacement, you need a team with the experience to take care of the process thoroughly. Let us give you peace of mind that your gas lines are transporting and supplying gas to your home the way they’re supposed to.

Detecting A Gas Leak

*If you suspect you have a gas leak, leave your home immediately. Do NOT use electronic devices until you’re outside, then call 911 and your gas company.*

Our gas line services team at Vern’s does everything possible to set up your gas piping system safely, but leaks and cracks happen. We want you to be as prepared as possible to face a gas leak without harm coming to your family. Although natural gas is colorless and odorless, manufacturers insert an odorant into the gas, giving homeowners a better chance of noticing when a leak is occurring. If you smell rotten eggs, this is a good sign you have a leak. Some other signs to watch out for are:

• Hissing sounds
• Air bubbling in puddles around your home
• Indoor or outdoor plants dying unexpectedly
• High gas bills

If you can spot these symptoms, the gas needs to be turned off to your home as soon as possible. If you can do so safely, you should. Otherwise, call a gas services provider quickly. If you don’t catch these initial signs, you might begin to notice some symptoms occurring in your body next:

• Headaches, dizziness and fatigue
• Trouble breathing
• Nausea
• Confusion or loss of concentration

Natural gas poisoning will cause these symptoms to become severe, even leading to loss of consciousness or suffocation. This is why being aware and alert for signs of a gas leak is so important. Don’t let a simple unidentified gas leak repair be the difference between a normal day and a tragedy.

The next thing you should keep up to date with is your regular gas line maintenance. It may seem strange to have your gas piping serviced when nothing appears to be wrong, but these appointments are prime times for our experts to identify repairs that can lead to dangerous leaks. If you replace or repair your gas pipes when they show signs of deterioration, you significantly reduce the risk of leaks in and around your home.
