Gas plumbing is one area where the do-it-yourself instinct can be dangerous. Here is what Aurora homeowners need to know about gas line work.
Why gas work is different
A water leak is a mess; a gas leak is a hazard. Gas lines require specific materials, proper pressure testing, and leak checks with specialized equipment. A mistake that seems minor can be life-threatening.
The signs of a leak
A rotten-egg or sulfur smell, a hissing sound near a line, or dead vegetation over a buried line are all warnings. If you smell gas, leave the house and call your utility from outside — do not flip switches or use your phone indoors.
