Almost half of the houses in Hadamar have already been examined. No gas has been detected in the buildings so far.

The sewerage system is also constantly being checked and so far there have been no abnormalities. The leak in the gas tank was reported on Monday morning and was probably caused by maintenance and repair work. In an initial radius of around 300 meters around the tank, people had to leave their apartments and houses. The safety radius was later expanded to 400 meters after a man was seriously injured in an explosion and the collapse of a house.
