Would you suggest a carbon monoxide detector and a gas sniffer of some sort? where do I get one and how much are they?

I had a plumber fix one of the pipes today, but I still smell gas. I had the gas turned off outside my house. This house is 5 years old and has the bendable type gas pipes... do these leak easier?

HELP!!!



Answer
A carbon monoxide detector doesn't detect a gas leak. Most reliable gas sniffers are very expensive.

I can't speak to bendable gas pipes.

Do you know if the plumber checked his work using soapy water or a similar liquid? If not then you may have a leak and the plumber needs to come back check out his work.

If the smell is very strong then you really need to shut off your gas until someone can check it out. In some locations, the gas company will come out and check for leaks.

What are side effects on a person of having carbon monoxide in your home?

I know someone thats is wondering if she had carbon monoxide poisioning. She is more sleepier then usual in her home. She has the old heaters not central. Anyone that has any info please respond and im not lookin for smartass answers. Thank You


Answer
flu-like symptoms...headaches, dizziness, sleepiness, nausea, light-headed
Tell her to buy a CO test kit (detector badge) at her local hardware/home improvement store, place near gas hearters/furnace or gas fireplace, within 15 minutes the badge will darken if it detects any carbon monoxide, (even a slight color change)...if it does detect carbon monoxide, she should go to the emergency room right away, a simple blood test will tell if she has carbon monoxide poisoning...if positive, do not enter home, she should call her gas company to fix the leak.
