I recently remodeled a room and took the room down to the studs. I found a gas line and marked it on the floor so I would not hit with any drywall screws. I was very careful and did not hit the gas line while hanging sheetrock. However I was hanging a ledger bracket for some shelving at the top of the ceiling and after I was done I noticed I have a screw right where I marked the floor for the gas line.
So my question is do I pull everything and open the wall to see if I hit the gas line?
Do screws deflect off gas lines?
No smells, but should I unscrew the screw and see if it smells?
House built in 73 so gas line is the black metal type -- iron i guess
Screw used deck screw – Philips II type
Screw at a slight angle
Mark on the floor may be a little off, I did not plan on getting this close
Any ideas – don’t want the house to blow.
Thanks
