PLEASE READ IF YOU HAVE CSST (corrugated stainless-steel tubing - jacketed with yellow PVC or polyethylene cover)GAS PIPING INSTALLED IN YOUR HOUSE
Lightning is a highly destructive force. Even a nearby lightning strike that does not strike a structure directly can cause systems in the structure to become energized. Proper bonding and grounding may reduce the risk of damage and fire from certain lightning strikes. If systems that could become energized by lightning are not all properly bonded, the differences in potential between such systems may cause the charge to arc from one system to another. Arcing can cause damage to CSST. Bonding and grounding CSST will help reduce the risk of arcing and related damage. Because this issue with CSST was just recently discovered, early CSST installations were not required to be bonded, however new installations of CSST require bonding and will not pass inspection without it.
Keep in mind that the home must be struck by lightning or have a nearby strike that transmits the energy to your home to cause arcing.
Do not become panic stricken if your home has CSST. Simply contact a plumber for further evaluation.
