Does Your Gas Line Have a Leak?

Gas leaks are dangerous and can occur due to lines becoming corroded or punctured. As much as half of American homes use natural gas for their appliances. It is very important to be able to recognize the signs of a gas leak.

You should use your eyes, ears, and nose to detect gas leaks. All gas companies in the United States add a chemical to the gas to make it smell like rotten eggs. If you smell a nasty odor that does not go away when lighting a pilot light, you may have a gas leak. However, some people have a decreased sense of smell due to illness, smoking, or age and cannot detect this smell.

You can also use your sight and hearing to detect a leak. If you hear a hissing sound coming from your appliances or pipes, this can also indicate a possible gas leak.

Determining if You Have a Sewer Leak

We can also check your home and yard for sewer leaks. Sewer leaks can cause your home to shift from its foundation which can cause massive repair bills. Leaking sewer pipes can also cause health problems by contaminating the air and water with harmful germs and gases.

There are a few visual clues that can tell you whether you may have a sewer leak. Check areas of your yard for soil swelling and bulging. If you have a sewer leak, these are areas where the sewage is releasing gases into the soil and pushing it upwards.

If there are cracks in the foundation or bulges on the slabs on top of the soil, this can indicate a sewer leak. You can even look around the inside of your home for signs that your foundation is damaged from sewer leaks. If there are any cracks in the walls, ceiling, or floor, your foundation may be shifting.

If gas or sewage from a sewer line contaminated the soil enough, you may smell a foul odor. This is an indication that you have a sewer leak. Damage to the foundation can have many causes, but if you have cracks and smell sewage, contact us right away.

What Is a Slab Leak?

A slab leak occurs when the plumbing pipes beneath your home’s concrete foundation develop leaks due to corrosion, shifting soil, or poor installation. Left undetected, these leaks can cause structural damage, mold growth, and sky-high water bills.

Signs You Might Have a Slab Leak

Unexplained Increase in Water Bills: A sudden spike in your water bill without any changes in usage is often the first red flag.
Warm or Wet Spots on the Floor: Feel a warm spot underfoot? This could indicate a hot water line leak beneath your slab.
Sound of Running Water: Hearing water running even when all faucets are off? This could be a hidden leak beneath your foundation.
Cracks in Walls or Floors: Slab leaks can cause your foundation to shift, resulting in visible cracks inside and outside your home.
