Leaky Gas Lines
A gas line leak can be very problematic because so many residences in the United States rely on natural gas for safe and effective heating. People can become seriously ill from a gas leak or a buildup of natural gas in a small space, and in certain situations, an explosion may result. Homeowners should contact their local utility company to identify and mark the gas lines before beginning any project that requires excavating outdoors.
