Get Immediate, Professional Help For Leaking Gas Lines

A leaking gas line can be very dangerous. If you notice the smell of leaking gas in your home, you need to get a professional to find the leak and stop it immediately. Since 2009, Ackerman Plumbing has been accessing and repairing gas lines in the Iowa City and Williamsburg areas.

A GAS LEAK CANNOT BE IGNORED

Any type of stray spark will cause gas in the air to ignite. And a spark can come from something as simple as plugging in an appliance. This danger is why a gas leak needs to be addressed immediately and by a professional.

Natural gas will also cause toxic carbon monoxide to build up in your home, so venting the gas leak as soon as you smell it is imperative.

Understanding the Risks of Gas Leaks

Gas leaks are a serious concern, and you cannot take them lightly. Natural gas is a convenient and cost-effective source of energy, but it is also extremely dangerous in an uncontrolled leak. For instance, it causes an explosion when exposed to flame.

Leaking gas can also lead to health problems such as headaches, dizziness, and nausea when inhaled. Inhaling too much can deprive you of oxygen, causing you to lose consciousness. In the most extreme cases, breathing in natural gas can kill you.
