Only a few months ago I was requested to perform a home inspection. One of the first comments in the list of concerns was a “smell gas in the home”.  Sure enough they were correct. Our EzFlex™ Combustible Gas Detector quickly located the leak.  This confirmed the presence of a leak, even with the shut off valve in the closed position.

When your YEG Edmonton Home Inspector is working for you an important tool utilized is the  EzFlex™ Combustible Gas Detector. These small handheld units only need a few minutes to warm up and can last years.

A very good investment for any YEG Edmonton Home Inspector for around $200.00.

 

So we confirmed the leak now what.

I in this case we decided to open the windows in order to get a good air exchange. We then contacted ATCO GAS at 780-420-5585. We informed the very patient operator of the concern and discovery. Within no less then twenty minutes a ATCO GAS van arrived. Another service professional was in the home. This guy came prepared with some the best equipment. He confirmed our concern and got to work.

This ATCO gas service professional was in the home for under an hour. He had not only completed repairs required to this fire place but also completed a assessment of all the gas lines accessible. A complete system inspection of accessible areas. ATCO is a diversified global corporation delivering service excellence. Best of all there was no cost to the home owner.
