Hello Reddit! I'm not sure if this is the right place to share this, and if there is a better spot to post this on Reddit, by all means, please redirect me!

For almost a full week, the office has smelled like gas/gasoline/bleach. I, for one, have a very sensitive nose and called it out early to our CEO, which prompted National Grid, the Fire Department, and others to come and investigate.

1. From what Nat Grid said, even with their most sensitive tools, there is no sign of excessive natural gas than normal.
2. Our office is also just behind a gas station, which doesn't appear to be facing any issues/leaks/etc.
3. I work in an open-floor office, where we have a large open office space with workstations and a full kitchen with a gas stove, dual ovens, and all of the amenities like a bathroom, and a gas fireplace. When you walk in, you walk down a large flight of stairs to the open floor space.

It's been going on for over a week now, and no matter who I speak to, no one seems to think this is a big issue—but the few employees who come in echo my sentiment and share in the feelings of nausea. My opinion? I think we are literally being gaslit (punny, there) into thinking something that is CLEARLY a problem, is not a big deal.

Based on the details I shared above, does anyone have any thoughts/hypotheses about where this is coming from? If the Fire Department/Nat Grid has been contacted, and they haven't found anything, who the heck do I call?

Thank you!

I posted roughly three months ago I was sure my boss was ignoring a gas leak. I ended up being correct,a gallery on our grill was bad and it was slow leaking until the build up hit flame and combusted out in a ball of fire at us.

But over this weekend, after three weeks of us complaining about how we think there's another leak somewhere, three of us tested positive for monoxide poisoning. Our boss tried to insist it wasn't from work, even though that's our ONLY coming denominator. We finally found the leak after days of him introducing after our positive tests that there want a leak, just up discover we funny have monoxide detectors on premises?

At what point is it no longer petty but justifiable to take legal action? Im four months pregnant, and go today for a check up on me and baby. I don't know much about this did, but my levels were at 5% and this weekend has been the sickest I've ever been in my life. I'm scared to go back to work tonight. I don't trust them.

Now that it's winter and the heater is running again I've noticed that we have a pipe that vents the exhaust whenever that switches on. The gas is visible even when it isn't terribly cold outside.

That pipe is on my patio and ~10 feet away from my favourite spot to have a cigarette. I don't always smell it but when the wind blows a certain way I definitely get a decent smell off of it.

Is that smell I'm getting particularly toxic?

If so, should I be considering adding an external pipe to vent it slightly further from an outdoor commonplace?

What is the purpose of doing this? I can see the glow in the sky from over 12 miles away so I decided to take a drive and found this. It's a place called "CUDD" in the middle of a field, their website says they do natural gasses. In Michigan.

I had to install a water heater of a smaller size with a lower BTU input because the previous homeowner had a larger one installed directly on the slab. Is there a way to turn down the BTUs supplied without changing the size of the lines?

Anyone ever tried to search for a picture of natural gas on Google. I have and nothing comes up other than animated and auto gen imagery. Why can't I find a picture of Natural gas in raw form online??

hello renter here… ive been complaining of this gas smell for over a year between two property managers and they never found a leak. came home after work to my gas shut off and a notice i have a leak from the gas company… i wont get into the whole back and forths and what ive done what theyve done ect… just want to know if there is anything i need to worry about health wise? i have a 2 1/2 year old and ive always experienced headaches. im calling her pediatrician Monday but wanted to ask here as well. worried mom here

Helping my friend move out of her condo. She wants to take her bbq with her. She says it was hooked up to her condo natural gas line on her balcony by someone she hired many years ago.

How do i unhook this? Is it as simple as unscrewing, or is a professional needed? TYIA

First let me say I fully plan to verify a leak and have it taken care of. I just want to know if there was any significant risk since the detector picked up nothing at all even just an inch or 2 away.

The pipe in question connects to a natural gas fireplace in my basement. Sorry if this an appropriate question for this sub reddit. ** Edit ** I wanted to note that while I was on my knees stick the detector around that pipe I smelled no odorant at all.

The well is about 3000ft from the house with 970 pounds of pressure.

The gas goes through (3) regulators and is sent at 12-15PSI.

With 1.25” diameter pipe, will the pressure loss be too much for 3000’ to my house?

Thanks in advance.
