Default Corroded/Rust at main gas pipe

Only a small area of the gas pipe located in the unfinished basement was corroded.

The only thing I could tell was the exterior meter had settled at the seal had broken at the exterior.

There were no other areas of the piping or basement with moisture or corrosion.

What do you think?

I think no big deal. If you want you suggest a wire brush and some paint.
