I have seen dry clay soil let gas though 2-4 blocks away - when wet clay seals the pipe then water gets into gas line. Water trapped gas line and new home owner was thinking gas line was valved off but NO - clay dried out then the basement filled full of nat gas. I have seen the one inch pipe from meter into building rot from drafty rim condensation, over sized boilers and lack of seal will over heat that 2" of wood and drip all winter and rot Sch 40 black pipe in 3 yrs.
