	Propane Explosions Propane leaks can cause massive destruction with high velocities, often without fire damage. Low damage on the structure is common.


	Natural Gas Explosions Natural gas explosions tend to create less damage than propane, but can still cause walls to collapse and debris to be cause damage to adjacent structures.


	Underground Migration of Propane Propane is a heavy gas and can migrate underground long distances, until an ignition source is found. The actual leak can be found a distance away from the structure.


	Snow loading Snow loading can cause gas lines to break and leaks to occur.


	Snow removal Snow removal operations can damage outside meters and manifolds.


	Intentional Damage This gas line was removed and then reconnected to cause an intentional explosion

Hodge Services has investigated all types of propane and natural gas losses, and has the experience to test all systems and components involved in those type cases. Our laboratory has specialized equipment to test all gas lines, regulators, appliances, and valves, on-site or in the laboratory.
