Gas Lines - Repair Leaks and Protect
Gas lines are an important part of the functioning of many California homes
and office buildings. The inherent dangers associated with gas make it
imperative that gas work, installation, refitting and all other aspects are done
by a qualified professional plumbing contractor.
At Hallelujah! Plumbing & Drain Service,
we have highly experienced plumbers that can test and locate your system using a
variety of methods to quickly get you back in operation.
Some of the greatest dangers around your California home may be unseen - such as
gas leaks. Avoiding these unseen dangers and alerting your family
to danger can be as simple as checking your appliances regularly and purchasing
a few, affordable alarms.
Leaking gas can lead to asphyxiation (the inability to breathe leading to
suffocation) and dangerous explosions. Luckily, commercial gasses, such as the
kind of gas your stove or heater uses, have a strong odor added to them so you
can smell leaks. If you smell a gas leak in your home, you need to act quickly.
WHAT TO DO IN A GAS EMERGENCY
1. The most important thing to remember when you have a gas leak is to get
the gas turned off as quickly as possible. First, you must call your utility
company immediately. When a report is received by the gas company, they will
come as soon as possible and shut the gas off.
2. Try to ventilate the area in which you smell gas by opening a window, etc.
3. Once your gas company turns off the gas, they will want all gas piping to be
turned off and tested prior to restoration of service.
4. CALL Hallelujah! Plumbing & Drain Service.
We'll arrive quickly, assess the system, and go over a plan of attack. This
involves disconnecting the piping throughout the system and capping and pressure
testing of all lines turned off.
