Yesterday I could smell gas in the cellar near the meter. Asked my wife to check as well - she said she could smell it too. Called the gas emergency number on the meter.
We have an extractor fan in the cellar so turned it on to clear the air. After the smell had gone I turned the fan off but kept trying to smell for gas - didn't notice anything.
The emergency gas man came about 40 minutes later with his sniffer and manometer. Sniffed around and didn't detect anything. Did a tightness test with his manometer and everything checked out OK. He even checked the neighbours either side who were OK.
I am a bit confused as to what happened - to the point that I'm doubting my sense of smell. Any thoughts? I'm posting a video of where the pipe comes through the wall - I thought the smell was coming from the hole around the pipe. Should I just fill that hole up with mortar / expanding foam (just in case)??
