Gas Meter Red Tag in Santa Monica? Step-by-Step Guide To Solve.
Smelling natural gas in or around your home can be unsettling, but swift action is essential to address the issue and restore safety and usability. Socal Gas recommends that you evacuate the area and call their emergency line any time you smell gas or notice issues with the natural gas in your home. This service is invaluable as the gas company can help you determine if gas is leaking, malfunctioning, or putting you and other's at risk. However, SoCal Gas does not perform gas line repairs and often will shut off gas to your home if they find that your plumbing is in need of a tune up. Enter the dreaded red tag.
At Santa Monica Drain Co, we're here to guide you through the process of dealing with a gas meter red tag, ensuring that you get your gas back on as quickly as possible.
STEPS FOR DEALING WITH A GAS METER RED TAG.
1. Don't panic. Be sure to evacuate the area if you smell gas, and avoid using any gas powered appliances until the issue is resolved.
2. Call a licensed plumber at Santa Monica Drain Co. 310-422-8915. We offer same day service and can pressure test your gas lines on the spot. This helps us to locate the source of any potential leaks or malfunctioning appliances.
