You’ve probably heard easy home maintenance tips before on when it’s a good idea to shut off your gas line. When you shut off your gas line, you can prevent safety hazards in an emergency. Not all homeowners know how to turn off the gas, unfortunately. What is fortunate, however, is that it isn’t as difficult as you might think.

How To Turn Off the Gas
