Another area we handle are gas leaks. Gas leaks can be quite scary and for good reasons. A fuel gas leak is extremely dangerous and having a licensed plumber there to fix it IS A MUST. When it comes to fuel gases, propane and natural gas are the two big ones we work with. These are typically odorless in their natural state, so mercaptain is added in gives them a sulfur smell—like rotten eggs—to alert residents to a gas leak. This strong odor is added for your protection. After mercaptain is combined with gas, even the tiniest of leaks can be detected by a homeowner.

Carbon monoxide is another dangerous gas that is a byproduct of fuel burning. This type of gas is odorless. Carbon monoxide detectors are strongly recommended by Farmington Valley. Carbon leaks typical only come from three main sources within your home: your furnace, water heater and gas dryer. If these appliances are fuel burning, such as natural gas or propane, they will also have what is called flue piping. Flue piping is used for exhausting carbon monoxide from these appliances safely out of the home. If flue piping is improperly installed or becomes damaged it can be fatal. Always remember, if you have flue pipes in your home that need maintenance or removed, make sure you have a qualified plumber do so.
