In enclosed spaces, gas displaces oxygen in the air, leading to symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, shortness of breath, and irritation of the eyes, nose and throat.

If you suspect an active gas leak, call 911 and your gas utility company first after leaving the area. If the situation is not an emergency, you can contact Chimney.com for a professional gas line inspection, repair or replacement.
