Gas Line Leak Prevention: Petri Plumbing offers warnings of potential dangers for New Yorkers
Leading Brooklyn plumbing company encourages homeowners to conduct regular inspections to prevent gas line leaks
BROOKLYN, N.Y., June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Petri Plumbing and Heating, Inc., a leading plumbing company serving Brooklyn since 1906, advises homeowners to undertake preventative measures to avoid gas line leakage and carbon monoxide infiltration in their homes.
In 2009, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, there were 158 natural-gas distribution pipeline incidents reported that caused almost $32 million in property damage. There are an average number of 155 incidents annually, with a contributing factor to the high number of gas line incidents being the failure to detect and repair gas line leaks in a timely fashion. In addition to natural gas leaks, carbon monoxide offers significant, potentially fatal danger due to difficulty in detection due to the lack of odor, color and taste.
"Gas leaks can not only cause massive amounts of damage to a home, but they can also put your family at severe risk of gas or carbon monoxide poisoning," said Michael Petri, owner and president at Petri Plumbing. "Gas line leaks, whether big or small, should be dealt with immediately to avoid unpleasant and potentially dangerous symptoms. Conducting regular inspections, especially between seasons of extreme temperature changes, helps ensure homes are up to code and safe from gas leaks."
Identifying susceptible gas pipelines is one of the many ways the professionals at Petri Plumbing help safeguard families from potential gas leaks, as well as having helped numerous Brooklyn and Manhattan residents on gas line repairs.
"Installing a carbon monoxide detector in your home helps keep your family safe, as well as scheduling regular gas line inspections," said Chris Petri, assistant operations manager. "However, if you suspect any unsafe conditions or have any questions, call a professional immediately."
