Natural Gas Leak Discovered During 11-Month Builder Warranty Inspection
During this 11-month builder warranty inspection, I discovered a natural gas leak at the home’s gas meter. The homeowner was unaware of the leak. The gas utility company was contacted immediately. Fortunately, they responded while I was still on-site and repaired the leak the same day, eliminating a potentially serious safety hazard.
This is a great example of why a thorough home inspection is so important—even in newer homes. Small issues like gas leaks often go unnoticed but can have significant safety implications. My goal is to identify these concerns before they become bigger problems, helping homeowners protect their investment and their families.
