National Grid – Delay Their Inspection If You Can – They Use Spray Paint Indoors
National Grid sent us a letter telling us that we needed to have a service line inspection.
We checked the tag in the basement and it says the last time they were here was 2019.
They don’t have weekend appointments, so went onto their website and made an appointment or this week so we could get it done. Their letter threatened to charge $100 if we didn’t.
A contractor hired by National Grid called about 10 minutes before he showed up. He ran a sensor around the pipes to the gas meter. The sensor didn’t detect any gas.
The inspection was going well until he took out a spray can and sprayed gray paint on about a foot of the gas pipe in my basement! Who uses spray paint indoors?
Now my house smells like fumes and it’s getting cold because I have all the doors open to let out the fumes. It’s a half hour later and it still stinks.
Spray paint was not part of our last National Grid appointment. If you have to make an appointment, either schedule it for May or later OR tell them they can’t use spray paint in your house.
