Gas lines can run through appliances all over your home.

If gas powered appliances are of interest to you, call Paul the Plumber to learn more about what kinds of modifications your gas lines may need, including replacements or installations.
If Not Maintained, They Can Cause Serious Accidents.
While gas-powered appliances are generally safe, they also come with some safety concerns attached. Gas leaks can be deadly occurrences if they go undetected, or if you don’t know how to handle them.
Common signs of a gas line leak include:
- An unpleasant “rotten egg” smell.
- Hissing or roaring near your gas pipes.
- Excess condensation on walls or windows.
- Health symptoms such as nausea, headaches, dizziness, and fainting.
- Damaged connections between gas pipes and gas-powered appliances
- Dead or dying vegetation around your yard.
What you should do if you suspect a gas leak:
- DO NOT turn any light switches on or off, use any electronics (including cell phones), or ignite any flames. Any of these actions could cause an explosion.
- Open all windows and doors in your home to allow the gas to escape.
- Evacuate your property immediately. Inhaling gas for extended periods of time can lead to serious health risks, including death.
- DO NOT start your car. Again, this could cause a catastrophic explosion.
- Once you are safely away from your property, call your gas company to shut off the gas supply to your home.
