Douglas GA Plumbing Company Offers Information On Pipe Preventative Measures

July 26, 2016 – – Mr. Rooter of Southeast Georgia, a leading plumbing company in Douglas, GA, is offering advice to homeowners to help them perform preventative measures to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning in their home by avoiding gas line leakage. The Douglas, Georgia plumber has warned of this serious issue, known as the ‘silent killer’.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in 2009 there were 158 reported incidents in relation to pipelines. They also recorded $32 million in damage to property. Every year, there are some 155 individual incidents and the majority of these can be traced back to people not being able to spot and repair leaks in their gas lines in a timely fashion. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a particular area of concern, as it is a tasteless, colorless, and odorless gas that can have fatal consequences. The Douglas, GA plumbers have advised homeowners to be on the lookout for subtle signs, which include strange smells, which could point to a leak in gas lines.

Buddy Carver from Mr. Rooter of Southeast Georgia says: “The damage a gas leak can do to a property is tremendous. Worse, it puts families at a significant risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Whether the gas line leak is big or small, it has to be dealt with straight away. This is the only way to avoid symptoms that are not just unpleasant, but potentially lethal as well. We encourage people to regularly inspect their lines, particularly during those times when there are extreme temperature changes. Doing so will make sure that homes are safe from gas leaks by being up to code.”

One of the main ways the professionals at the Douglas, GA home plumber help to ensure families are safe from possible gas leaks is through the identification of susceptible gas pipelines. Additionally, they have helped many Douglas residents to perform gas line repairs.

“One of the things we encourage everyone to do is to install a carbon monoxide detector,” adds Buddy Carver. “Furthermore, if you have reason to believe that conditions are unsafe, or if you have questions about your pipelines, phone us straight away.”
