Received SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

When you receive a warning tag on your gas line, it might be printed on either red or blue paper and will indicate one of two warning types: A or B. Each tag outlines specific corrections required to bring your system back into compliance. If you've received one, it's important to have a certified technician review the tag details and address the issues promptly.

SOME EXAMPLES DOWN BELOW OF VIOLATIONS THAT WILL RECEIEVE A RED TAG NOTICE.

When you receive a red tag on your gas line, it will indicate one of two types of warnings: Type A or Type B.

  • Red Tag Type A:

    Red Tag Type A:

    This tag signifies a critical safety issue that requires immediate attention. It indicates a severe non-compliance or hazard that must be corrected as soon as possible to ensure the safety of your property and its occupants.

    This tag indicates an urgent, high-risk issue that typically requires immediate action—often within 24 to 48 hours—to ensure safety and compliance.

    Gas may be shut off immediately to protect your property until the necessary repairs are made.

  • Type B Tags:

    Type B Tags:

    These tags point to less urgent compliance issues. While they still require corrective action, they typically do not pose an immediate risk. However, addressing these issues in a timely manner is important to maintain long-term safety and adherence to current codes.

    This tag points to a less critical issue, generally allowing a longer correction window, which can sometimes extend up to 30 days.

  • WHY WAS I GIVEN A RED TAG?

    WHY WAS I GIVEN A RED TAG?

    A Utility company like Endbridge may issue red tags if they detect safety concerns during inspections or receive reports from customers.

    However, it's also common for private licensed inspectors or contracted companies to issue red tag notices when something is noticed and deemed unsafe condition or in violation of local codes.
