What Causes Gas Leaks?
The first step in preventing gas leaks is knowing what causes them. Here are some common offenders:
Aging or Corroded Pipes
Over the years, gas pipes can corrode, become worn out, or develop cracks. Especially common in older homes or businesses where the piping has not changed for years. Corroded pipes can go unnoticed until they develop a leak.
How We Fix It: We replace any old or damaged piping and re-establish the integrity of your system. We use quality materials designed to withstand years of use.
Faulty Appliances
Faulty installation of gas appliances (boilers, stoves, heaters, etc.) is also a common source of gas leaks, frequently occurring at the connection points. Gaskets, seals, or fittings that are broken or not secured can also leak gas.
How We Fix It: We offer accurate installation and repair services so that your devices are secure and operate properly. Have a gas cooker or boiler to install? We’ve got you covered!
Poor Maintenance
Gas systems need servicing regularly to keep going strong. Ongoing maintenance appointments that are missed for whatever reason can result in small, benign issues that turn into instances of gas leaks as time progresses.
How We Fix It: We recommend proactive maintenance and offer full servicing of all gas appliances. With routine inspections, you can avoid leaks before they get the chance to occur.
External Damage
Groundwork or home improvement projects can inadvertently cause damage to the underground gas pipes or connections. Even the tiniest cracks in pipes can lead to sizeable leaks over a period of time.
How We Fix It: Damage from outside factors can be detected and repaired quickly by our Gas Safe engineers, who we have trained to do so. To make sure all underground and surface-level pipes are secure, we conduct thorough inspections.
Wear and Tear on Gas Valves
Gas valves play a vital role in controlling the flow of gas throughout your property. Valves can deteriorate over time, becoming sticky, loose, or ineffective, which can create more opportunity for leaks.
How We Fix It: Testing, repair, and replacement of gas valves is one of the components of our work to ensure the smooth operation of your gas system.
The Hidden Costs of Gas Leaks
Gas leaks have significant safety hazards — they are volatile, toxic, and can result in explosions — but their financial consequences tend to fly under the radar. A single gas leak could:
- Spike Your Energy Bills: Even minor leaks waste gas, raising your utility bills.
- Damage Property: Damages to structures from undetected leaks may cause costly repair services.
- Reduced Property Value: Persistent gas leak issues can scare away potential buyers or renters.
You’re losing money for every single second that a gas leak isn’t fixed. This is precisely why Celmeng Group focuses on rapid leak detection and corrective actions, as well as cost-saving solutions.
