A gas leak can be very dangerous, especially if you are not aware of it. You need to know what to do in case you encounter one.

If you are smelling gas its best to call a local gas fitter immediately. In Brisbane most plumbers will be able to also look after your gas leaks and appliances for you.

Call Plumbaround Pty Ltd to come over and do a inspection as soon as possible. Call 07-30381038 ASAP for help.

Attend To gas Leaks Immediately – Call a Gas Fitter Near You

The first thing you should do when you discover that there is a gas leak in your home is to call the fire department. They will be able to assess the situation and they will know how to deal with it. It may take them some time to arrive, but you don’t want to wait around for too long.

If you are alone and you have no idea what to do, then you should get out of the house immediately. Call 911 from your cell phone and explain to the operator what is happening. Make sure you have the address where the leak is located. If you are not sure where the leak is, then ask someone who lives in the area.

Take care of pets

If you have pets, then make sure they are safe and that they are not near the leak. If they are outside, then make sure they are not exposed to the gas fumes. If they are inside, then you should get them out as well.

Hydrate

Make sure you have enough water available for everyone in your household. This will help them stay hydrated and it will also help them to cool down. It is important that you stay calm. Do not panic.

Keep A Fire Extinguisher

You should always keep a fire extinguisher nearby. If you have one, then you should use it. If you don’t have one, then you should find one as soon as possible. The fire department will most likely have some on hand.

Once the fire department arrives, they will assess the situation. They will tell you if you need to evacuate or not. They will tell you if they think it is safe for you to return home or not. They will also let you know if you need to bring in an expert.

If you are not sure whether it is safe to go back into your home or not, then you should stay away. There is no reason to risk your life by going back in. You should wait until the experts have determined that it is safe for you to go back in.

In Case You Are Feeling Unwell

If you feel like you are having trouble breathing, then you should seek medical attention. You should never try to treat yourself. You should contact a professional right away.

Once you know that it is safe for you and your family to go back into your home, you should do so. The fire department will give you a time frame as to when you can return home. They will also give you a list of items that you need to take care of before you can go back in.

You should clean up any areas that were affected by the gas leak. You should remove all the damaged materials from the home. You should also clean up any debris that was left behind by the professionals.

Call a licensed plumber to come over immediately and check all appliances and gas pipes that may be faulty. Get these replaced as soon as possible.

WHAT SHOULD YOU CONSIDER WHEN SEARCHING FOR A COMMERCIAL PLUMBER?

WHAT SHOULD YOU CONSIDER WHEN SEARCHING FOR A COMMERCIAL PLUMBER?

by | Nov 4, 2021 | Licensed Plumber, Plumbing Services, Residential & Commercial

The best plumbers will be reliable, have good customer service and be available for you in emergency situations, in addition to planned maintenance.  By choosing the best commercial plumbers, you are ensuring that they will make all repairs correctly the first time and deliver results you can rely on.

Licensed and Insured – Firstly, confirm that your plumber is licensed and insured (especially within your state). This protects your properties from potential damage and legal consequences.

Experience – Ensure that the commercial plumber has experience which ideally should include working on the type of building(s) that you manage. Plus, working with facilities managers, real estate agents or body corporate managers (or others in similar roles). Experience allows for more efficient and better-quality work.

Old or new plumbing systems? – Has the plumber experience with both old and new plumbing systems? This is particularly important for buildings with older systems. Have they got the tools and skills needed to work on it?

Qualifications – Experience and qualifications don’t always go hand-in-hand, however, sometimes you can find one without the other. Confirm that your chosen plumber is qualified to work on all of the systems they will maintain. Ensure they have passed any necessary tests and training to receive the relevant certification.

Warranty – Pay attention to whether your chosen plumbing company offers a warranty of some sort. Many will offer guarantees on their services for a set amount of time.

Services Offered – Ideally, it’s best to use a single commercial plumbing provider that offers all of the services you need. You do not want to have to work with several companies, and by working with just a single company, you save yourself time and hassle. You may also get financial savings this way.

Communication and Customer Service – The best commercial plumbers will be available 24/7 for emergencies and be at least professional, if not friendly, on the phone.

Recommendations and References – It’s important to pay attention to reviews from others especially for those who’ve used the plumber for similar services to your business.

Reputation – Pay attention to the plumber’s overall reputation. Look for online reviews even if you already have a glowing recommendation. You want to find consistency in the reviews. An occasional issue is not a concern, as long as the plumber quickly resolves it.
