What types of instruments are used to check for gas leaks?
We have found the electronic instruments to be the most reliable means of detecting gas leaks. However, this may present a problem if the repairperson or inspector, is not equipped with an electronic detector and checks for leaks with a liquid solution. Typically smaller leaks will not show up with liquid solutions but this does not mean the significance of a smaller leak should be overlooked. Any leak, if left in a closed area long enough, can become a major risk.
