Natural Gas Safety Tips from Professional Plumbers

Proper handling of natural gas is necessary because despite the benefits mentioned above, it is still a very dangerous substance. When using natural gas, it is important to keep an eye of these things:
  • Carbon monoxide poisoning
  • Gas leaks
Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the potential dangers of natural gas. This substance is a by-product of gas when burned. The normal process involves the carbon monoxide being carried out through the exhaust system, however, in some cases, there are factors causing the release of carbon monoxide into the air that you inhale. The flickering of your appliance’ pilot light. Once you notice that your gas-powered appliance has a flickering pilot light, there might be an excessive carbon monoxide. This prevents the light from burning fully and displaces the released oxygen. Check your exhaust vent for an accumulation of soot around it. The backflow of carbon monoxide when there is an obstruction in the exhaust vent causes this. Check for excessive build-up of excessive moisture in windows and walls. Ensure that you have a carbon monoxide detector in your home and double check if it is working. The problem with carbon monoxide is, unlike natural gas, it has no odor additive, therefore, you won’t be able to detect its presence through smell. In order for you to detect this is through a properly functioning CO2 — this inexpensive gadget will save you and your family from any untoward carbon monoxide accident. Gas leaks, on the other hand, are caused by faulty appliances, improper installation, or man-made incidents. Gas leaks are a major potential danger, therefore, it is beneficial for you to be aware of the signs of gas leaks such as: The smell of rotten eggs. Naturally, gas is originally odorless making it hardly noticeable, so to address this, gas companies added an odor additive. Are you seeing dead plants near the gas line? Then one of your gas-fueled plumbing appliances are probably having gas leakage. This happens when natural gas escapes from the pipe lines, it automatically kills the plants near it. Call a professional plumber immediately the moment you see dead plants near the pipeline. You can hear hissing noises from your appliances.
