A Close Call Near Corona del Mar

A couple years back, we got an emergency call from a homeowner on Carnation Avenue in Corona del Mar who noticed a faint gas smell in their kitchen. The family had just finished hosting a barbecue and initially thought it might be lingering propane from their outdoor grill. However, the smart homeowner decided to call us anyway since the smell persisted even hours after cooking.

When our technician arrived with his electronic gas detection equipment, he discovered the problem wasn’t from their barbecue at all. The flexible gas connector behind their indoor range had developed a tiny crack, probably from years of vibration as people walked across the kitchen floor above. What made this especially dangerous was that the leak was happening right next to their gas water heater with its pilot light. Our tech immediately shut off the gas supply and replaced the damaged connector. That family’s quick thinking and our fast response probably prevented a house fire.

How Professional Gas Leak Detection Works

Our gas leak detection Newport Beach process starts the moment you call (949) 822-9548. We ask specific questions about what you’re experiencing – the smell, sounds, or visual signs you’ve noticed. This helps our technician bring the right high-tech detection equipment to your home.

When we arrive, our certified gas technician uses electronic gas detectors that can sense even tiny amounts of natural gas in the air. These latest generation instruments are far more sensitive than your nose and can pinpoint exactly where gas is escaping. For underground gas lines, we use specialized ground-penetrating detection tools that locate leaks without digging up your beautiful Newport Beach landscaping.

The detection process itself is systematic and thorough. We start by testing around all your gas appliances, then check visible gas lines, and finally inspect the areas where gas lines enter your home. Our new technology can detect gas concentrations as low as one part per million, which means we catch problems long before they become dangerous.

After locating any leaks, we immediately take steps to make your home safe. This might mean shutting off gas to specific appliances or your entire home, depending on the severity. We then provide you with a detailed explanation of what needs repair and give you upfront pricing before doing any work.

Common Gas Leak Detection Mistakes in Newport Beach

One dangerous mistake we see frequently in Newport Beach involves homeowners using open flames like lighters or matches to “test” for gas leaks. This is extremely risky because any gas present could ignite immediately. The proper way to check for leaks is with soapy water solutions or professional electronic detectors, never with fire.

Another costly error specific to Newport Beach’s coastal environment is homeowners ignoring the unique challenges that salt air creates for gas lines. The ocean breeze can cause faster corrosion of outdoor gas connections, especially around pool heaters and outdoor kitchens popular in Newport Beach homes. Many residents assume that new installations don’t need inspection, but we’ve found serious leaks in gas lines less than five years old due to improper materials being used in the marine environment.
