Why Quick Action is Essential
Natural gas is efficient and convenient, but leaks pose serious safety risks. In addition to potential fire and explosion hazards, exposure can lead to health issues such as dizziness and nausea. That is why we treat every gas call as an emergency. When you contact Caputo Mechanical, we immediately dispatch trained professionals equipped with advanced leak detection tools to isolate, repair, and restore your gas system.
What to Do Before We Arrive
If you suspect a gas leak, take these safety steps immediately:
- Evacuate the building and move everyone, including pets, to safety.
- Avoid using electronics, phones, or switches. Even a spark can ignite gas.
- Do not attempt to locate the leak yourself.
- Call 911 and your gas utility company from a safe distance.
- Once emergency responders clear the area, contact Caputo Mechanical for professional gas line repair.
Signs You Need Emergency Gas Line Repairs
Recognizing the warning signs of a gas leak can prevent disaster:
- Strong Rotten Egg Smell: A chemical called mercaptan gives natural gas this distinct odor.
- Hissing or Whistling Sounds: Gas escaping under pressure often makes a noticeable noise.
- Dead Vegetation: Brown or dead patches in your yard may signal an underground leak.
- Physical Symptoms: Dizziness, nausea, and fatigue could indicate gas exposure.
- Unexplained High Bills: A sudden increase in gas usage may point to a leak in your system.
If you notice any of these signs, leave the area immediately and call for help.
