Most people initially suspect they have a gas leak because of the odour – natural gas has no smell, but a sulphurous, eggy smell is added by producers so that it can be identified. Here are some other tell-tale signs:
If you feel squeamish or light-headed, it could be a sign of a gas leak or carbon monoxide leak.
Remember that carbon monoxide is odourless – there’s no smell to signify danger so you should always invest in carbon monoxide alarms to place near every gas appliance.
Flames on appliances being yellow or orange instead of blue is a sign of a possible gas leak.
Scorch marks around appliances and pilot lights regularly going out are also signs of a possible leak.
Watch out for these warning signs and you’ll be one step ahead of the game whenever a gas leak occurs – then you can contact professionals like Bollano Plumbers to help ASAP.
If you think you have a gas leak, don’t worry – just take the following steps:
Turn your gas meter valve off in order to stop the mains gas entering the property. If you don’t know where your valve is or how to operate it, find out now!
Do not turn on any electrical appliances and certainly don’t smoke or use any naked flames.
Open some windows if you have time, but focus on exiting the property as fast as possible – once we’ve carried out an inspection, we’ll tell you when it’s safe to go back in.
Our Gas Safe registered engineers will sweep every square inch of your property with highly sensitive detector devices, identify the source/s of the problem and make the required repairs, testing the environment thoroughly again to ensure that it’s safe for you to re-enter.
If we ascertain that the leak has been caused by faulty installation, poor maintenance or substandard repairs, we can take care of all future installations and attend your home regularly to ensure that all of your appliances are up to scratch and fully maintained. We can also issue you with new carbon monoxide detectors and natural gas detectors throughout your property.
And finally, if your gas meter is tricky to reach or use, we can install a convenient gas shutoff valve which keeps you safer in future.
