Natural gas leaks can pose serious health and safety risks if not addressed immediately. Exposure to a gas leak can cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and breathing difficulties. Prolonged exposure may even lead to loss of consciousness or, in extreme cases, can be fatal. Additionally, gas leaks create a high risk of fire or explosions.

If you suspect a gas leak, take the following safety steps:

1. Leave the building immediately – Don’t use any electrical devices or light switches, as they could ignite the gas.
2. Open windows and doors – If it’s safe to do so, ventilate the area by opening windows and doors to let the gas escape.
3. Avoid using phones indoors – Use your cell phone or landline only once you are safely outside.
4. Contact your gas provider – Call your utility company or emergency services once you’re a safe distance from the building.
5. Don’t re-enter until cleared – Only return once a licensed professional has confirmed that it’s safe.

For prompt, expert assistance, contact Barker & Sons Plumbing. Our team is available 24/7 to address any gas leak emergencies and ensure your home and family are safe.

How to Tell if You Have a Gas Leak

There are a few key ways to recognize if you might have a gas leak. Here are the signs to look for:

Smell – A gas leak often smells like rotten eggs, thanks to an odor added by gas companies to help detect leaks.

Sound – If you hear a hissing or whistling noise around your gas lines or appliances, it could indicate a gas leak.

Sight – Visual signs of a gas leak include:

• Water or mud bubbling up in your yard.
• Dust or debris blowing into the air unexpectedly.
• Unusually dead or brown spots in your grass.
• Small fires that seem to float above the ground.
• A noticeable increase in flies around your property.

If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s essential to get professional help right away to ensure your safety.

Did the Gas Company Turn Your Gas Off?

If your gas company turned off your gas and told you to call a licensed plumbing contractor, Barker & Sons Plumbing & Rooter can help. Gas lines are an essential part of your home or business, but they can be very dangerous.

Your home’s gas often powers many of your appliances, for example, your furnace, water heater, fireplace, oven and stove. As these appliances grow older, the seals that connect their piping can rust and cause gas leaks.

Barker & Sons is an Orange County plumbing contractor that can help you find your leak, repair it, and get your gas turned back on. We can repair multiple gas lines and replace gas valves to get you back up and running in no time.

Was There an Earthquake?

Each year, Orange County and other parts of Southern California experience about 10,000 earthquakes, several of which register at least a 4.0 magnitude on the Richter scale. Earthquakes create potentially dangerous and life-threatening circumstances.

If your gas line ruptures and you’re trapped inside your home, your life is in serious danger. The release of natural gas into homes or buildings from broken gas lines can be catastrophic.

Fortunately, the licensed technicians here at Barker & Sons Plumbing & Rooter can install an earthquake shutoff valve that automatically shuts down your gas system in the event that a 5.4 or greater earthquake rocks Orange County — and chances are that one just might!
