Chasing gas leaks - what do you do

[firemant]

Fair questions,
Smell nowhere near any source of gas , client side of meter.
Smell nowhere near street or incoming service
It made no sense, whatsoever.
I could not smell gas and most staff could not smell it, just a couple of employees could.
Massive risk ? - Not in my professional opinion
Op was about how other professionals deal with no detectable smells.
It seams we shrug our shoulders and say not my problem.

Wrong. A smell if if gas was reported to an RGI. You tested and found no leak after ECV. Do you not understand the nature of an external gas escape? The smell can come and go depending on ground conditions. Just because you could not smell it at the time of visit does not mean it was not there. You acknowledged as such when you returned at least once .

So why did you not get SGN involved? You do not have the kit that they do to detect outside escapes. Sorry, BS, but the level of proffesionalism in this trade is appalling. You took a massive risl in that, as an RGI, you did not, or did not know how to, handle the report properly.
You say your post was about how do pro. guys handle undetectable smells. Everyone (should) knows the answer. Contact the ES. Simple.

You chose to visit at least once after having a zero drop. Only a "couple" of employees could smell it. Are you mad?

It made no sense, because you clearly do NOT understand how gas can travel a long way before being "nose detectable"

No. I am properly qualified. And I don't lie about people on ignore list. You are clearly of the hard of understanding persuasion. My advice is to listen to those who do know. You may then be better able to meet your professional obligations.
