Gas leaks can pose a severe health hazard to your family. The danger increases if the leak goes undetected. Because some gases are odorless, your family could be inhaling them for extended periods of time without knowing. Gas leaks are also a major fire hazard and can put your home at risk of complete destruction if you’re not careful. That’s why it is critical to know the signs of a gas leak and to have a gas line contractor you can trust.

If the leak is coming from a pipe outside of your home, leave the area immediately.
