7 Symptoms of a Gas Leak in Your House

Posted on 28 October 2021

Most Australian homes have one or two natural gas-powered appliances that provide warm air or hot water. It’s critical to understand the causes of leaks and how to prevent them in order to protect your family and friends from the harmful symptoms of a gas leak. Because a gas leak can be fatal, only a licensed plumber should attempt to repair a crack or hole in your gas line. Here are common symptoms of a gas leak in your house.

 

Signs of a Gas Line Leak

 

# 1 Rotten Egg Odor

To give natural gas a distinct odor, gas suppliers use a chemical called Mercaptan. This makes detecting a gas leak in its early stages easier for families. It’s important to be aware of this common gas leak symptom if you notice an odor that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur. Grab your children and walk to a neighbor’s house to call a local certified plumber.

 

# 2 Sickness & Fatigue

Sickness, weakness, nausea, suffocation, and headaches can all be deadly symptoms of a gas leak in your home or apartment. If you feel sick or strange, call an ambulance right away to see if you’ve been exposed to gas poisoning.

 

# 3 Unhealthy Houseplants

There will not be enough oxygen in your house to breathe if a gas leak goes undetected for a long time. As a result, you may notice signs in your kitchen, dining room, or bedroom, such as unhealthy or dead houseplants. Plants are not the only ones affected by moderate to severe gas leaks. If a processional contractor does not resolve this problem, it will become fatal.

 

# 4 Sickness and Fatigue

Sickness, weakness, nausea, suffocation, and headaches can all be deadly symptoms of a gas leak in your home or apartment. If you feel sick or strange, call an ambulance right away to see if you’ve been exposed to gas poisoning.

 

# 5 Dead Grass and Bushes

Natural gas is supplied to your hardware and appliances via a large network of gas pipes beneath your home. Gas will be released into the air and absorb oxygen if a gas line in the ground cracks. Grass and bushes will begin to grow in your yard if there isn’t enough oxygen. Yellow grass and dead leaves on your bushes are visible signs of a gas leak.

 

#6 Skin Irritation

Some people will develop skin irritation symptoms as a result of a gas leak hidden behind a wall or ceiling. Blisters or numbness may occur if there is a lot of natural gas in the air. Furthermore, long-term exposure to carbon monoxide can cause skin discoloration and other problems.

 

#7 Flame Discoloration

A gas furnace is designed to produce a bright blue flame when it is turned on. A yellow flame could indicate a problem with your appliance’s ventilation. You should consult a professional to determine if you have a gas leak in your home.
