Gas Piping Repair in Johns Island, SC

Signs You Might Have a Gas Leak: Act Now!

Recognizing the early signs of a gas leak is crucial for ensuring safety. If you notice any of the following, do not hesitate:

1. Distinct Odor: Natural gas is odorless, but utility companies add a sulfuric additive called mercaptan, which creates a strong, unpleasant smell often described as rotten eggs or sulfur. This is the most common indicator.
2. Hissing or Whistling Sounds: A soft or loud hissing, whistling, or roaring sound near a gas line or gas appliance can indicate gas escaping from a pipe.
3. Visible Damage: Look for obvious damage to gas pipes, such as cracks, kinks, or corrosion. For underground lines, dying or discolored vegetation over the gas line's path could be a sign.
4. Physical Symptoms: Exposure to leaking gas can cause physical symptoms like dizziness, nausea, fatigue, headaches, or disorientation. If multiple household members experience these without another explanation, consider a gas leak.
5. Unexplained High Gas Bills: A sudden or continuous increase in your monthly gas bill without a corresponding increase in usage might suggest a leak.

IMMEDIATE ACTION: What to Do If You Suspect a Gas Leak (CRITICAL Safety Steps)

If you detect any signs of a gas leak, your immediate actions are paramount to ensuring safety.

1. Evacuate Immediately: Get everyone, including pets, out of the house or building without delay. Do not stop to gather belongings.
2. Do NOT:
3. Use any electrical switches (lights, appliances, garage door openers) as they can create a spark.
4. Use your phone or any electronic device indoors.
5. Light matches, cigarettes, or any open flame.
6. Operate vehicles or motors near the building.
7. From a Safe Distance: Once you are a safe distance away from the building, use your mobile phone or a neighbor's phone to first call 911 (or your local emergency services). After contacting emergency responders, connect with Holy City Heating & Air, LLC. Provide them with your address and a clear description of the situation.
8. Do Not Re-Enter: Do not re-enter the building until emergency services or our certified gas piping professionals have declared it safe.
