If you own a home or business, you need site utilities like water, electricity, natural gas, and sewer service for your property to function. So you need to keep an eye out for potential issues. Call a construction company for repairs right away if you spot any of the following problems.

Look for These Signs of Broken Site Utilities

1. Gas Leaks

If your home or business uses natural gas for heat or cooking, it’s delivered to your HVAC system or appliances through gas lines. These pipes may get separated or punctured, and the leaking gas is a health and fire hazard. If you smell rotten eggs, which indicates a leak, exit the property and call your utility company.

2. Cracked Sewer Line

3. Roots Disrupting Utility Lines

Roots from trees or other plants can get in the way of underground pipes or wires, disrupting, tangling, and cutting off site utility sources. Keep those systems in mind when you plant trees or do any gardening. If you suspect roots are already causing problems, contact an excavation company to clear the area around utility lines.
