Keep flammable materials away:

Store any flammable materials and substances away from gas lines and appliances to reduce the risk of fire. You should also maintain a clear area around gas-powered devices so they have room to operate safely.

Make sure everyone under your roof understands the signs of a gas leak and knows how to respond in an emergency.

Monitor gas appliance performance:

Regularly check for any signs of malfunction, such as inconsistent heating or unusual sounds.

These DIY steps are all helpful. However, please be aware that the actual repair should be done by a professional gas line plumber from our Ogden office. It’s also helpful to have us inspect your gas line periodically, as our trained eyes may see warning signs that might otherwise be missed.
