Default Methane Inspection
I have been asked to perform a methane inspection. I told her I never have performed a methane inspection before. She asked me to look in to it. So does anybody know how to perform methane inspection?

Using a gas sniffer the same you would for nautral gas. You can also use a Suma canister with a flow regulator installed if they are experiencing stange smells different times in the day.

If you are testing for naturally-occuring seeps from underlying bedrock, don't forget to test the water supply as it can occur in the well water supply as well.
