Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure can include headaches, nausea, dizziness, coughing, ringing in the ears, spots before the eyes and reddened skin color. If you notice any of these warning signs, get outside to fresh air and get to the doctor immediately. This practice creates a serious fire hazard and puts you and your family at risk from dangerous carbon monoxide fumes. Your range was designed only to heat your food, not your home. Damage to underground telephone, gas, electrical, or cable TV lines is potentially hazardous and disruptive.
State law requires all such underground lines be located and marked before excavation can begin.
Excavation near gas lines should be done with hand tools.
