    How to Detect Natural Gas Leaks in your Home

    [vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Natural gas is a fantastic fuel source, it is cost-effective and extremely useful.  Many homes use natural gas to heat their homes, cook food, and warm up their water before taking a shower.  Despite the use of natural gas, it can leak from pipes for a variety of reasons.  This is a dangerous situation because natural gas is flammable, and breathing enough of it can cause asphyxiation and even death.  Natural gas is both colorless and odorless.  As a safety precaution utility companies will put a harmless chemical additive to the gas to help homeowners detect a leak.  This additive smells like sulfur or rotten eggs.  If you smell this in or around your property you should immediately shutoff the gas and call a gas line leak detection company right away.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”30019″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”none” title=”(801) 613-0969″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][gem_quote]

    How gas line leaks occur

    [/gem_quote][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”30097″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Along with your sense of smell, you can also use your eyes and ears to detect a gas leak.  There is often a hissing sound associated with a leak as it is being released through a cracked pipe, pin-sized holes or a fitting that has become loose.  Often times you will be able to know that a gas leak is happening, but you will not be able to find the source of the leak.  When this happens it is important to work with a reputable company that has invested in top of the line equipment to pinpoint the leak.

    Remember that you can also invest in natural gas leak detectors just like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.  You can even find products on the market that can detect and alert to any of these issues from one device.  Gas lines in general do not go through the same levels of wear and tear that water or sewage line will.  This means that if a leak does occur it is usually a result of older, second-hand appliances, poor installation, or a fitting not being properly applied.  These leaks a relatively less common, but perhaps even more worrisome.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

  • How to Locate an Underground Water Leak

    How to Locate an Underground Water Leak

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There are several pipes that run underground for your home, business or commercial property.  These pipes provide tap water and remove waste via your sewer pipes.  This pipping system is essential to having a happy, healthy and fully functional home life.  They can operate correctly for years without any sort of maintenance or care.  With that being said, they can crack, break or get pin-hole sizes openings through the walls of the pipes.  There are many reasons these issues can arise.  Perhaps there was a minor earthquake or ground settling.  Maybe there was an unexpected deep freeze before you could properly drain your pipes.  Most likely of all however is that these pipes have aged and have simply been damaged due to erosion and time.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][gem_quote]

    Look for the signs of a water leak

    If the leak is large enough or has gone on long enough it can actually move soil away from the foundation of your property.  This can lead to safety concerns and troublesome damage to the actual foundation of your property.  So if you are noticing spaces of dips in the soil around your home call an expert leak repair company as soon as possible.  You may also notice signs around the rest of your property outside.  In general outdoor leaks are harder to notice than indoor leaks.  This is primarily due to the fact that most people spend a significantly longer amount of time inside than they do outside.

    Inspect your lawn and see if there are areas that look squishy or spongy like they have been saturated with water.  Your utility bills can also be a great warning sign for you to look at.  If there is a sudden and unexplainable spike in water usage, there is almost certainly a water leak happening.  Your water meter is a great tool to confirm that an underground leak is happening.  Begin by turning off all of your water fixtures.  While you are doing this look for any sign of damage, including cracks, rust, or excess water that has dripped.  Then go inspect your meter.  If the dials are spinning even though you are not using any water, there is definitely a leak going on.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

  • How To Detect A Natural Gas Leak

    How To Detect A Natural Gas Leak

    [vc_row][vc_column][gem_divider][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Natural gas is a very important necessity in our lives today. We use it to heat our homes and cook our food, and life without it would be very different. We started using natural gas in 1816 to light up the streets of Baltimore, MD and by 1900 it was being used in 17 other states. Soon after that natural gas piping was laid across the United States to supply it to our homes and businesses.

    But as we take advantage of this wonderful resource, we also have to respect it. Natural gas can sometimes be very dangerous and deadly if not used correctly. This is why we decided to talk a little more about how to detect a gas leak and why it is important to know the signs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][gem_divider][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_single_image image=”29933″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]

    What is Natural Gas?

    Natural gas is a highly flammable gas that mainly contains methane. It comes from microscopic plants and animals that lived in an ancient marine environment millions of years ago.

    Because it’s highly combustible, it contains a huge amount of energy that is used in residential, commercial and industrial applications.

    When burned correctly is a very clean source of energy and a little can go a long way.

    Common Places To Find Leaks

    Natural gas is supplied to our homes using large gas pipelines that come from under the street connecting to our homes. Smaller gas lines, then carry the gas to different parts of the home supply gas to our water heater, furnaces, and stoves.

    Most leaks are likely to come from one of those three places. Because natural gas has no odor, it is almost impossible to smell. This is why gas companies put what’s called “mercaptan” which smells like rotten eggs or sulfur to help you identify a leak.

    Sometimes leaks can be very small and you may or may not be able to smell that rotten egg smell.  If you suspect a strong smell of gas, you should evacuate your home immediately and call 911 along with your gas company.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][gem_divider][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

    Signs Of A Leak

    Because small leaks can be hard to locate there are some physical signs as well that should be cause for concern.

    • SOUND – A lot of times the leak can come from where the gas line connects to the water heater, stove, or furnace. A hissing or whistling sound will usually indicate that.
    • SEE – Damaged lines is a sure indication of a gas leak. Like kinks and bends or even striped fittings. House plants can sometimes be a good indicator of a small gas leak. Leaves on plants can start to droop and go from looking healthy to looking dead due to a natural gas leak.
    • SMELL – Rotten Eggs or Sulfur smell is a sure sign there is a leak coming from somewhere.
    • FEEL – Your body can tell you if there is some kind of leak in your home. Like Headache, dizziness, nausea, eye irritation, feeling tired, and breathing problems.

    If any of these signs are detected leaving the house and calling 911 is the first thing you should do.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][gem_divider][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_single_image image=”29575″ img_size=”large” alignment=”right”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]

    Plumbing Leak

    Most home and business fresh water come from a main source or line that usually runs under the street. A pipe then runs from the main line and takes it into the home or business. This is one place plumbing leaks can happen but they also can happen in the walls and floors of your home and business.

    Over time these pipes get old and start to corrode and sometimes spring leaks. Other factors too can cause leaks of broken pipes. Tremors or small earthquakes can cause leaks and breaks. Tree roots and other plants roots can cause these leaks to happen as well. Some leaks can go unnoticed and lead to bigger problems like sinkhole, erosion, mold, and mildew.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][gem_divider][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”29909″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

    A similar problem to the plumbing leaks is your sewer lines. Your sewer lines are also set up similar to your fresh water lines except it is taking waste from the home or business to a main line under the road. These pipes also get corroded and begin to wear out. Causing huge problems if leaks are not detected.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][gem_divider][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

  • The real costs of hidden water, sewer, air and gas leaks

    [vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Leaks of any kind can be a tricky thing for home and business owners.  Part of the issue with leaks is that they can happen in many locations and for different reasons.  There are basically two categories of leaks.  The ones that are visible to the naked eye, and the ones that are not visible either underground or behind a wall.  Regardless of the size of a water, sewer, air or gas leak one thing is certain.  Leaks can cause huge amounts of damage, and if gone undetected can have a large impact on your budget and utility bills.

    As a responsible home and business owner, we want you to understand the impact a leak can have.  Remember if you see any of these warnings signs or symptoms you need to call a leak location company in Utah.  This list applies to any home, business, municipal building, industrial facility or corporate campus.

If a large pipe underground that transports water or sewage breaks it is a serious issue.  Some things you can notice would be an increase in your water bill, despite their not being an increase in water usage.  You can also hear a rumbling noise in or around the pipes.  Finally, there can be a change in your property such as water collecting or even a dip in your grass or concrete.

    A broken pipe can cost your company over $1200 a day. Your water use will vary depending on the size of your company or industrial facility.  Our contractors have located and repaired hundreds of underground leaks that have occurred in large water main pipes.  Addressing these issues as quickly as possible not only save you money on your utility bill, it can help prevent large damage to your property and equipment.

    Leaking water utilities can waste a large amount of water. Did you know that a running toilet can waste a whole gallon of water in less than 30 seconds?  If you were to calculate the numbers, an undiagnosed leaking toilet can waste thousands of gallons of water each month.  This is important not only for your utility bill but for water conservation in Utah as we reach our dry, hot summer months.
