Reminders

Rust or Damages to Pipelines
Environmental conditions, construction projects, or even everyday household activities can cause gas pipelines to corrode or sustain physical damage, which can result in leaks.
Poor Installation
If pipes or appliances are installed incorrectly, causing loose or ill-fitting connections, gas leaks may happen.
Normal Wear and Tear
Components of gas systems deteriorate with age, potentially compromising the integrity of gas lines and fittings and causing leaks.
Weakened Seals
Gas can leak out of gas appliances like stoves and heaters as a result of the seals wearing out and breaking down over time.
