A gas engineer received help from the most unlikely of sources in discovering a leak which could have "blown the house down" had it not been discovered. Sean Evans, a plumber gas engineer, received a call-out in the Morriston area of Swansea, and said that when he walked through the door, he could smell instantly that it was a significant issue.
But when he started to investigate, it was the family cat which helped him track down the source of the issue. Mr Evans decided to focus his investigation on an area of carpet where the owner's pet had been digging, and when it was lifted, he found the gas leak directly underneath.
The tradesman described the action he took next, and spoke of how he had never experienced something like this call-out in 20 years of being self-employed. Get Swansea stories straight to your inbox with our newsletter.
