How Are Gas Leaks Caused?

Gas leaks are typically caused by loose or poorly fitted appliances, such as gas dryers, stoves, or furnaces. They can also be due to general wear and tear with fittings beginning to leak in walls. If you have an appliance that isn’t fitted properly, gas can quickly escape from the hose and spread throughout the home, causing a potentially deadly situation.

What Happens if I Don’t Fix My Gas Leak?

A gas leak should never be taken lightly because it can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Additionally, even the smallest leak can build up and cause an explosion. The initial risk may be relatively low, but it can still occur. It’s better to be safe.

How Do I Detect a Gas Leak?

The most apparent sign of a gas leak is the smell of gas. However, there are other signs:

Feeling lightheaded, dizzy, or nauseous
You notice a blue flame instead of orange or yellow
Blown out pilot light
Soot or scorched areas around appliances
Musty smell in the air
Condensation on windows

In order to effectively prevent gas leaks, have Winters® Home Services undergo a thorough inspection of your appliances. We will check to see if there is wear and tear that could lead to a gas leak. Be sure to keep carbon monoxide alarms in your home.
