As affordable commercial contractors, we know the ins and outs of your home perhaps better than you do—which is why we want to help you make sure you are prepared for an emergency! Read A Real Advantage Construction’s tips for preparing for possible emergencies and rest easy.
Gas Leak
First thing’s first: if you or anyone in your home smells that unmistakable rotten-egg odor and can’t identify its source, get out of the house immediately! That is the basic rule of gas safety, but there are other things you can do to make sure your home is safe:
• Don’t hang anything heavy on your gas pipes
• Make sure the gas connections to your gas appliances aren’t cracked or frayed
• Consider installing a natural-gas detector
Smoke Alarms
Mount a smoke alarm on every level of the house and make sure they are located outside of each bedroom. Here are more tips:
• Test the batteries of your smoke alarm once a month and replace them once a year
• If your smoke alarms are connected to the household electrical system, test them monthly as well
• Buy new smoke alarms every decade
• Even if you’re annoyed at the noise it makes when you burn dinner, don’t disable your smoke alarm!
• Dust or vacuum alarms on a regular basis
