Risks Associated With Gas Leaks

Gas leaks can be very dangerous and cause severe risks to your health and safety. Two of the biggest risks associated with gas leaks are an explosion and carbon monoxide poisoning. An explosion can be triggered by any spark near the gas leak. This can affect your home, as well as areas near it -- including other homes on your block. While explosions are typically rare, they are still a risk.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the most serious dangers associated with gas leaks. This can be dangerous because there are typically no symptoms for carbon monoxide poisoning. This substance is tasteless, so you might not know you are breathing it in. Symptoms to watch for include fatigue and nausea. If you suspect you have carbon monoxide poisoning you should immediately evacuate your home.
