Possible Natural Gas Leak?

Hello everyone. I admittedly don't know if this is the right place for this, I apologise if not.

My mum and I were sitting on the balcony and shortly after we moved there, I heard a sizzling sound and a brief line of yellow light, like a horizontal spark (or more like an electric sizzle?), above the natural gas pipe outside of our garden, where it connects to a box. It's been some hours since, where we were staring at the pipe, but no spark appeared again.

Since then, I tried the soapy water test and saw no bubbles, we went sniffing like dogs around the area, the kitchen and basement and couldn't smell anything unusual. There are also no sounds coming from the pipes - essentially, none of the signs I found online related to a leak are happening. But I'm pretty sure I saw that spark. What should I do?

Renting

Are these properly installed? For a whole week I have had a stove that improperly combustion gas and inhaled those fumes. Middle two should be the stove and dryer. Townhomes type of building.

1 lb. (aka 16 oz) Propane Tank Alternative?

Is there anything available in Canada that is a good alternative to the single use 1 lb. coleman propane tanks? I am sick of them piling up in my garage because they are a huge pain to dispose of. And no, I dont want to use a 20lb tank, I need something much smaller that can be hand-held.

Copper Pipe Leading to House?

Does anyone know what this copper pipe might be that's leading into my house? It's very shallow(3") then gets deeper close to the house, then ultimately connects to the house.

I have 811 DIG coming out to mark everything now. Called the gas service, and they don't believe it's gas because of it being copper. My first inclination was a gas line, because the location it enters into the house is near our gas burners in the kitchen.

Please let me know your thoughts,

Not having the gas turned on the day the house becomes ours… does that matter?

Hi there! Husband and I are buying our first home, closing 8/19. For two weeks, we just have people coming in to do some quick renovations (painting, switching out some tiles, etc). We’re ensuring air and water are turned on for the workers of course.

Does it matter if gas isn’t hooked up until the day after we move in? If we’re not cooking/don’t need heat, I don’t think it matters if it’s off for a few weeks, but let me know if I’m missing anything. Thank you !!

Need help finding this tool

I’m trying to figure out where I can get some clamps like these. I’ve been looking for awhile, I have no clue what they’re called but I need a pair of 1” and 2” for an electrocution coupling. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Anyone know what this line/pipe is?

There wasn’t “supposed” to be anything under this spot, but I just got to about 2.5 feet and found this. Luckily I didn’t go down hard so it’s still intact.

ISO Master Plumber | Adding Gas for Gas Range

San Antonio, TX

As the title says. Looking for recommendations on someone adding a gas line for a gas stove. We currently have gas running to our water heater and furnace, but not the stove. (Don't ask why; it's an older home).

We've had one guy come out and quoted around $3500 or so. dont know if thats good or not.

I am not sure what to expect for a project like this. But from what the first guy saw in my attic, he would be able to TEE off the main gas line going from the water heater to furnace and put an outlet behind my stove.

We wanted to see if we can get someone who will also cover up the walls when they cut them open as well. Don't want to have to hire someone else to do that later.

TIA
