What to Do in Case of a Gas Leak?
Gas leaks are serious and should not be taken lightly. If you smell gas in your home or business and do not have it seen to immediately, the leak can quickly get worse and cause a fire or explosion. Gas leaks have the potential to completely disintegrate buildings. Apart from damage or even complete destruction to property, gas leaks can also cause carbon monoxide poisoning and potentially be fatal to humans and pets.
The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath or even chest pain. If you feel any of these symptoms after smelling gas, you should go outside immediately.
Once you’re outside you should turn off the gas supply at the meter by turning the valve so that the handle is 90 degrees to the pipe. For a gas bottle, turn the valve clockwise. Once you’ve shut of the gas you can return inside to turn off any appliances. It will also be a good idea to open doors and windows. Do not use any electrical equipment or ignite any flames or sparks.
Do Not Do These Things if you Have a Gas Leak
• Do not turn on fans as they are electric and could ignite the gas.
• Don’t use any appliances or light switches. Any spark could ignite the gas.
• Do not smoke, light matches or ignite any flame.
• Do not stay in the house or business.
Things to Do if you Have a Gas Leak
• Make sure the gas is shut off at the meter or the gas bottle.
• Extinguish any flames such as candles.
• Turn off any gas appliances, including pilot lights.
• Open doors and windows to ventilate the area.
How Do You Detect a Gas Leak in Melbourne?
Gas in its natural form does not have a smell. Gas suppliers add a chemical called Ethanethiol to give it a strong “rotten egg” type odour. This is the odour you can smell if there is a gas leak. Other indicators that you have a gas leak may include:
-
Lack of hot water from your hot water system.
-
Hissing noises from appliances.
-
Pilot light won’t stay ignited.
-
Underground gas leaks may cause grass patches.
-
Unexplained high gas bills.
-
Lightheadedness, dizzyness, nausea, shortness of breath, chest pain or vomiting after entering the property.
If you notice any of the above signs on your property, call Mr Plumber for a prompt gas leak repair.
If you continue to experience health issues, consult a doctor.
