Gas Leak Repair

One of the most dangerous things in any home is a gas leak. If you suspect you have a leak, it’s time to call a gas leak repair specialist in San Diego immediately!

Natural gas is odorless and by the time a leak is detected, it could be too late. Some gas companies do add a “rotten egg” type of smell to the gas so you can better detect a leak. If you notice this type of smell in your home, it’s time to evacuate and call Eastlake  Plumbing for gas leak repair services in San Diego.

What To Do if You Suspect a Gas Leak in San Diego

In San Diego, if you think you smell a gas leak, you need to act fast. Follow these steps before you call to get gas leak repair services:

  1.  Evacuate the home or building immediately. Don’t hesitate and on the way out, extinguish any open flames (including pilot lights) and open doors and windows, if possible.
  2. Do not plug in or unplug any electrical appliances. Do not turn on or off any light switches. Both of these actions could cause a spark, which can start a gas fire in an instant.
  3. Call SDG&E immediately (Emergency number: 1-800-611-7343) or 9-1-1 from a phone OUTSIDE the home or building. Don’t operate a phone inside your home as it can also cause a spark.
  4. Don’t light matches or smoke near your home. It’s even important to be careful with flashlights, as some cause sparks when they turn on.
  5. Do not re-enter the home until you have been given the all-clear from the gas company after an inspection and after repairs have been made.

Preventing Gas Leaks in San Diego

We are here to help if you need gas leak repairs in San Diego. However, the best way to avoid needing a major repair is with the proper preventative measures.

At Eastlake Plumbing, we offer annual inspections of your gas lines and appliances. Our San Diego gas leak repair technicians will ensure everything is running correctly without issues. If there’s something we think needs replaced or fixed, we will recommend it at your inspection.

Along with an inspection every year, you should always have gas appliances installed by a professional in a well-ventilated area. They should remain in good working order and you should keep these appliances clean.

Keep combustible materials away from ranges, water heaters, furnaces, and other gas appliances. You can also install a home gas detection unit to provide peace of mind. It can also be a good idea to install a separate carbon monoxide detector. Both cost less than $50 and can be easily installed inside your home.
