    It’s also leaking near the wingstop or shut off valve where you soaped it

    They said we had a leak in our fireplace gas valve but we didn't smell a thing. They turned off our gas. What do we need to do to get our gas back on. They wrote us a ticket and checked off, leak at appliance, fireplace valve.

    The dial jumps on my mom's meter. I got a video of it. Just need to upload. I think it's bad and pipes are pretty rusted. Can I get your professional opinion?

    Is there a problem if this happens for about 20 seconds and stops?

    • @ericbailey1182
      @ericbailey1182 5 месяцев назад +1

      typically not, especially if it corresponds with a gas appliance kicking on or being in use. a leak is a constant thing due to it being under pressure so there really wouldn't be any stoppage

    You would probably want to have a ball valve installed in case you don’t have a wrench lol

      What if the handle falls off the valve. Should I use a wrench?

    My gas meter does have corrosion near threading dingy white, if I put my nose to it , their is a dry smell of gas not obvious. Should I be concerned?

      Sylvia Hernandez If you smell gas, even a little bit, call your gas company. Thy usually have a prompt to select for gas leaks that transfers you to the emergency department.

    That same needle on my meter is always slowly slowly moving, I’m not sure if that is normal? I mark the case where the needle sits and come back 30 mins later and moves a bit , any idea?

    • @oldhandyluke
      @oldhandyluke 3 года назад +1

      You can but you need to make sure that all your pilot lights are shut off. Are you smelling gas in your house?

    • @didanyoneelsenotknowwhatto117
      @didanyoneelsenotknowwhatto117 2 года назад +1

      Do you have a gas fireplace?

    • @coreylambrecht5797
      @coreylambrecht5797 7 месяцев назад

      Your water heater has a pilot light that stays lit which consumes gas.

    Natural gas is being used for domestic cooking and heating in a large number of countries. It is a fossil fuel and is transported through underground piping networks to the consumers via gas meters at moderate pressure; the pressure is regulated at the distribution and consumer ends. But hazard exists because of its high flammability and heating value or calorific value.
    What if natural gas leaks in your house?

      it blows up sometimes

    • @Encantado215
      @Encantado215 9 месяцев назад +1

      electrical current in the house will eventually ignite the leak

    • @voldschen232

      leave your house immediately and call 911 and alarm them about the gas leak, they'll bring specialist and the fire department just in case. any sort of spark, heat, even statics electricity from carpets can cause a gas explosion. and the gas can knock anyone in your household out.

    This just makes me want to abandon a house I just bought that has gas. It's ridiculously stressful. Electrical doesn't have these problems.

      I mean, if you have an expired electrical meter that doesn't get replaced, it will break down and potentially become a fire hazard to your house.
