COMPONENTS OF A GAS PIPING SYSTEM

A standard gas piping system in a house features gas supply lines, drop pipes, and branch lines. The gas supply lines are engineered to circulate natural gas throughout the household. Once the gas reaches the supply lines, it is distributed to your appliances through a network of branch lines. Depending on the layout of your house, a branch line can be installed above or below the gas appliance.

Each of the branch lines on your property are connected to a set of drop lines that are designed to deliver natural gas to appliances such as the water heater, oven, furnace, and stove. Drop pipes deliver natural gas from a branch line that is located above the appliance. In other cases, a drop pipe will transport gas from a branch pipe that is installed beneath the appliance.

A drop pipe that distributes natural gas in an upward direction is referred to as a riser by licensed technicians in the industry. If you notice signs or symptoms of a broken supply or branch pipe. Our team of emergency plumbers provides fast and trustworthy gas line repair, replacement, and installation services to homes in West Chester and other surrounding areas of Pennsylvania.

GAS LEAK SYMPTOMS

If a gas leak is not discovered in its early stages, it will reduce the total amount of oxygen in the air of your household. This may cause physical symptoms such as nausea, exhaustion, headaches, breathing difficulties, and faintness. Are your kids or family members experiencing similar symptoms? To avoid injury or death, immediately evacuate your house and call a licensed plumber to perform a gas line installation or repair. Prolonged exposure to a gas leak can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

Gas leaks may be caused by damaged gas lines and loose connections to gas appliances. To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, it’s important to hire a certified technician to tighten unsecured connections and replace old pipes. This type of poisoning occurs when carbon monoxide replaces the supply of oxygen in your blood cells. Carbon monoxide is a byproduct of the natural gas combustion process. This odorless and colorless gas is produced in gas furnaces and water heaters.

Although carbon monoxide is harmful to everyone, individuals that suffer the worst side effects include babies, senior citizens and children. Senior citizens that are exposed to an excess amount of carbon monoxide may develop permanent brain problems. Carbon monoxide poisoning may also cause miscarriages, heart damage, brain abnormalities, or death.

NOTICEABLE SIGNS OF A GAS LINE LEAK

UNHEALTHY HOUSEPLANTS

The plants in your household require a sufficient amount of oxygen to live and thrive. If you notice dead leaves or discolored branches on your plant, this is a sign of a gas line leak. The plants are not receiving enough oxygen due to the abundance of carbon monoxide in the air.

ROTTEN EGG ODOR

Gas distribution facilities add a chemical called Mercaptan to natural gas to make it easy for homeowners to detect and respond to gas leaks. If you notice a rotten egg odor in your house, this is an indicator of natural gas in the air. The team of licensed HVAC technicians at WM Henderson offer trusted gas line leak repair and replacement services in Coatesville and other areas of Pennsylvania.

DISCOLORED FLAMES IN GAS APPLIANCES

Gas appliances such as furnaces and water heaters are engineered to produce a hot blue flame during the standard heating cycle. If the flames in your appliance are yellow, this is an indicator of leaking gas.

DEAD GRASS

The signs of a severe gas leak are not always confined to the interior of your household. We recommend inspecting your backyard to confirm if your grass is healthy. If your grass is dead and discolored, this problem may be due to a lack of oxygen due to a gas leak.
