Gas Fitting - Gas leak detection

18/11/2019

 
after hours plumbing
A gas leak at home is not a good thing. It can be a serious problem. There's a reason it has that awful odour to warn you of danger, so if you smell gas leak contact a qualified plumber. The source can come from the water boiler, gas cooker, central heating, outdoor BBQ. Knowing how to properly check for gas leaks can save lives and even save money on utility bills.

Gas leak detection

There are ways to identify if your home has a gas leak but the most obvious sign is the odour. To warn us of a gas leak, gas providers add an artificial “odouriser” or liquid chemical which gives a gas that unpleasant smell allowing us to know if something is wrong. A gas leak may have a rotten egg smell. 

While new appliances can have a strong burning smell the first time they are used but they normally burn off within an hour. The smell of gas, on the other hand, is more obvious and if the smell continues, call a gas plumber.

You can hear the gas leak so check for a faint hissing sound. It may even show small dust clouds from the surrounding area signalling a leak. When you see any of these warnings switch off the appliance right and call an expert in gas plumbing. 

Gas leak warnings should not be taken lightly. You have to be careful in case you notice signs and symptoms of these leaks. More important, call and plumber to fix the problem. You can call for after hours plumbing if you need immediate plumbing service at night.
