The gas company is responsible for maintaining the gas lines from their stations to the meter outside one’s house. After the meter the responsibility for the gas lines fall on the owner of the house. The owner or tenant will be held responsible for any leakage or damage that happens on their side of the meter. Even if the meter is not right next to the house the owner is responsible for maintaining the gas line from the meter to their house. That is if the meter is at the curb the owner is responsible for the gas line on their side of the meter.

Maintaining the gas line is very important if one wants to avoid possible accidents. One should have their gas line regularly checked for leakage and for possible unsafe conditions. If the gas pipe line happens to be made of steel or other metals, have them regularly checked for corrosion. If such unsafe conditions are detected one must take immediate steps to correct them. One should take the assistance of a licensed and well qualified professional like a heating or plumbing contractor to both inspect as well as repair broken or damaged gas lines.

There are a few steps that one should take if one suspects that there is a gas leak.

The first step one should do is to evacuate the area, dont on or off any electrical equipment as the spark can cause either an explosion or a fire.
The next step is to call either 911 or the safety number given by ones gas company. Remember one should call these numbers from a safe location like ones neighbors house or building. Never try to fix or repair a gas leak by oneself.

In case there is a gas leak from plastic pipe it can create enough static electricity to ignite the gas.
Thus if one

• Regularly checks their gas lines for unsafe conditions like corrosions and possible leaks
• Knows what to do in case of a suspected leak.

One can save not only their lives but also the lives of the loved ones and neighbours.

As easy as it may sound, cleaning windows can be a tedious task, especially if you have a large house with so many windows. Cleaning them once a week is also not a good option since in after a day or two, you’ll start seeing smudges and dirt all over them. Imagine if you have so many kids how many fingerprints and nose prints do you think you will see? It is time to learn the best techniques on how to clean your home windows. 

1. Use a professional brass or a stainless steel squeegee that you can get this from your local janitorial supply store.

2. Try using a window cleaning solution that has vinegar, ammonia or liquid dishwashing detergent ingredients. Ammonia is helpful in cutting heavy grease while vinegar can remove hard water spots.

3. Don’t use too much soap or chemical solutions on your windows as doing so may cause streaks and even leave residue.

4. Use a damp cloth in wiping very dirty windows. 

5. Avoid rubbing dirt on the glass because it will cause scratches on your window.

6. You can use a vacuum cleaners attachment in getting rid of dirt from your window.

7. Lightly wet your window using a cloth or clean sponge.

8. Don’t clean your windows under direct sunlight as it can make it dry up too fast and then leave streaks.

9. Wash the exterior windows first using a hose or clean water in removing grime and grease.

10. Make sure you change, wash and then rinse waters often.

11. To remove dust, vacuum the screens.

12. When washing windows, do it side-to-side inside and up-to-down outside. 

13. For stained or textured glass windows, don’t use squeegees; they don’t work on these types of glass. 

14. Scrub warm water on the screens then rinse them with clean water. Air dry them afterwards.

15. Hard paper towels or old cotton cloths are also great to use for cleaning windows. Micro-fiber cloths are also good but don’t use fabric softeners on them because this can reduce their absorbency features.
