Keep Your Family Safe—Signs You Need Gas Line Repair

Unfortunately, most of the indicators of a gas leak in your home will manifest themselves as health-related symptoms in either you or your family members. It is of the utmost importance that you address these issues immediately, so they do not worsen over time and potentially wreak havoc that could be life-threatening for those who reside in your home. If anyone in your household notices or is experiencing any of the following, you may have a gas leak:

• Headaches
• Nausea
• Rotten egg/sulfur smell
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Chest pain
• Fatigue or drowsiness
• Depression
• Lack of appetite
• Nosebleeds
• Feeling dizzy or light-headed
• Ringing in the ears
• Dead plants
• Unexpectedly high energy bills

In addition to these physical symptoms, you may notice or hear signs around your home indicating a problem with your gas piping. You might notice a faint hissing sound near appliances, visible damage or corrosion on an exposed pipe, or pilot lights that frequently go out without explanation. In older homes around Oakland and Alameda, shifting soil or past remodeling projects can leave gas lines stressed or improperly supported, increasing the chances of a leak. If you have recently added new gas appliances, such as a stove, furnace, or outdoor grill, and something does not seem to be working correctly, a trained gas line plumber can assess whether the current system can safely handle the additional demand.
