Gas is a vital energy source for many households, but it also carries inherent risks. A gas leak can lead to fires, explosions, or severe health hazards from inhaling harmful gases. Understanding gas leak detection is essential for ensuring the safety of your home and loved ones.

Common Signs of a Gas Leak

Early detection of a gas leak can prevent accidents and save lives. Watch out for these signs:

• Unusual Odours: Domestic gas is typically odorised with a sulphur-like or "rotten egg" smell.
• Hissing Sounds: Escaping gas can produce a hissing or whistling noise near lines or appliances.
• Physical Symptoms: Nausea, dizziness, headaches, or breathing difficulty may indicate gas exposure.
• Dead Plants: Indoors or outdoors, unexplained plant deaths can signal nearby leaks.

Tools for Gas Leak Detection

1. Gas Detectors: Install these devices near gas appliances to detect harmful levels and sound an alarm.
2. Soapy Water Test: Apply soapy water to suspected leak areas; bubbles indicate escaping gas.
3. Professional Inspections: Engage certified technicians like Core Gas Installations for regular inspections. Our team specialises in detecting and resolving gas leaks in residential, commercial, and industrial settings using advanced tools.

What to Do If You Suspect a Gas Leak

Act immediately if you suspect a gas leak:

• Avoid Using Electronics or Switches: Even a small spark can ignite airborne gas.
• Evacuate Immediately: Ensure everyone leaves the premises safely.
• Turn Off the Gas Supply: If safe, shut off the main gas valve.
• Call for Help: Contact Core Gas Installations for professional assistance.
