How About A Spring Check-up From Collins Plumbing & Gas?

With their reliable, affordable and professional plumbing maintenance services, Collins Plumbing & Gas should be your ‘go to’ plumbing and gas company for a spring check up, before the summer season gets into gear.

Leaky, malfunctioning or unreliable plumbing can cause huge amounts of damage to your home or office, and all too often, people ignore plumbing maintenance as they feel it will be too expensive to call out a professional plumber.

Collins Plumbing, Gas & Heating will service and test all your gas appliances, including BBQs, outdoor heaters, boat and caravan gas appliances before summer commences. Regarding BBQs, Collins Plumbing say, “Look before you cook.” Summer is a time for relaxing, holidays, and long evenings spent with friends and family. It’s a time to come together and there’s no better way to come together than over a backyard BBQ.

You don’t have to be a gasfitter to know that BBQ safety is a priority this summer and Collins Plumbing & Gas will look at everything you need to know about staying safe around the BBQ this silly season. As they say, “A gas leak can go from annoying to dangerous very quickly. It’s important to test for leaks at regular intervals. Get into the habit of checking your barbeque every time you’re hosting an event. Simply put some soapy water into a spray bottle, turn on the gas without turning on the BBQ, and spray the valve and hose with the soapy water. You’ll see small bubbles begin to form if there are any leaks.

“Remember to use all your senses when you’re working around the BBQ. If something smells funny then that could also indicate a gas leak. When you’re finished using the BBQ, turn off the gas at the bottle or the cylinder first. This way, there’s no chance of forgetting to turn the gas off. It also ensures that the rest of the gas in the lines gets used up. You don’t want to store a BBQ filled with excess gas. Finally, this step will ensure that no gas leaks from the burners or the regulator connection. If you’re ever unsure about a gas problem with your BBQ, always talk to a local gas installation expert.”
