Warning Signs Of A Gas Leak In Your Home
While gas is a beneficial service in your home, it is vital to remember that it can also become very hazardous if there is a leaking line. So everyone in the house should understand the warning signs of a potential gas leak, which include:
A foul odor like rotten eggs or sulfur is created by adding mercaptan to odorless natural gas. It is an inert chemical that provides a safety warning in the event of a gas leak.
A cloud of grey dust or a hazy appearance around an exposed gas line
A hissing or squealing sound as the gas is escaping from the pipe.
Corrosion or rust on any exposed gas lines means the pipes could be compromised and leak gas.
Houseplants' sudden and unexplained death can also indicate a gas leak in the immediate area.
When you notice any of these signs of a possible gas leak, call 915-588-6391 for immediate assistance. In addition, it is wise to evacuate your home while leaving windows open to allow any gas to dissipate.
The Potential Health Hazards Related to a Gas Leak
When there is a gas leak in a confined space, like a home or commercial building, it displaces the oxygen in the air essential to life. Once the gas reaches a high concentration in the air, anyone breathing it will begin to suffer from oxygen deprivation, similar to suffocation. These signs of this life-threatening problem include:
Difficulty breathing
Wheezing
Coughing
Dizziness
Fatigue
Shortness of breath
Headache
Nausea
Nose bleed eye, nose, and throat irritation
It is also crucial to know that your domestic pets will suffer from this lack of oxygen and can display signs of distress, including:
Lethargy
Disorientation
Trouble breathing
Coughing
Vomiting
Red, watery eyes
Call 911 and evacuate all humans and pets from the home or enclosed space at the first sign of any of these symptoms. Leave doors and windows open to allow the gas to dissipate and stay a safe distance from the structure until it has been inspected and deemed safe by professionals.
