3 monthly gas smell check
1. Pre-Inspection Preparation
Notify all household members about the gas smell check schedule.
Gather necessary tools: gas detector, soapy water, flashlight, and protective gear.
Create a safe environment by ensuring windows are open for ventilation.
2. Visual Inspection of Gas Appliances
Examine each gas appliance for visible signs of damage or wear.
Check for proper installation and ensure appliances are level.
Look for any signs of rust or corrosion on metal components.
3. Gas Line Inspection
Inspect all gas lines for leaks, paying attention to joints and connections.
Look for any signs of discoloration or bubbling on the surface of pipes.
Ensure that gas lines are properly secured and not pinched or kinked.
4. Functionality Testing of Appliances
Turn on each gas appliance one by one and observe its operation.
Check that flames are blue and steady; yellow or flickering flames may indicate a problem.
Listen for any hissing or unusual sounds during operation.
5. Leak Detection Techniques
Utilize a gas leak detector to scan around appliances and gas lines.
Apply soapy water to all joints and connections to check for bubbles.
If using the detector or soapy water indicates a leak, take immediate action.

Review the emergency plan with all household members in case of a gas leak.
Ensure that all family members know how to shut off the gas supply.
Keep emergency contact numbers for the gas company readily available.
