Okay. Did you talk to the homeowner and find out if they had just recently turned on the furnace or any other appliances that might be gas in the residence?
01:03
They just advised they turned on their heat back when that's when they started smelling it.

Approximately 780 parts per million and rising.

03:27
you going to the basement to investigate, but I didn't catch the 1st part.

The it's coming out of the floor vents at the current moment.
03:38
