I've moved into this home during the pandemic, and apparently it had a gas leak. I smelled it and called multiple times but nothing was found
They way in which i would small it would be once in a while not consistently I finally called again yesterday and they came last night from SoCal gas and discovered yes there's a small leak behind the stove.
I know it was a small leak but I have been smelling it for 3 years and literally like gaslighting myself no pun intended
I've been doing some reading about gas leaks within SoCal gas and how it's been a common thing recently around my neck of the woods and my concern is I've started to read about how gas is going to affect physical and mental health. I'm kind of shocked that this could have caused serious brain damage or affected my mental health which is already irratic.
Should I see a Dr? To make sure I'm ok?
It was strange i would only catch whiffs of it randomly
But they came two years in a row and nothing unt finally last night.
It was random i would catch a huge whiff and then gone and i would ask other people
Only once did someone else smell it
Huh, sorry that sounds frustrating. I'd be surprised if it has had an outsized effect on your health, but I'm trusting that the odor additive was being injected into the supply at the minimum quantities. It sounds like a tiny breach in the supply though, maybe only coming into play when that part of the building would shift or expand/contract with the weather or something.
You know what that makes perfect sense SoCal fluctuated between cold and hot weather this week
And when I've smelled it it's been during really hot weather or cold
