Know the Warning Signs of a Possible Gas Leak

Recognizing the signs of a potential gas leak can help you take action quickly.

Strong Gas Odor

Natural gas is typically odorized so that leaks can be detected by smell. A strong sulfur or rotten-egg-like odor should be treated seriously.

Hissing or Whistling Sounds

A hissing sound near a gas appliance, connection, or gas line may indicate escaping gas.

Unusual Appliance Behavior

Gas appliances that aren't operating normally may require professional inspection.

Gas Leak Detection & Repair FAQs

  • How do I know if I have a gas leak?

    A strong sulfur or rotten-egg-like odor, hissing sounds near gas lines or appliances, unusual appliance behavior, or other unexplained signs may indicate a gas leak. If you suspect an active leak, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility or emergency services from a safe location.

  • What should I do if I smell gas?

    Do not use matches, lighters, candles, electrical switches, or anything that could create a spark. Leave the building or affected area immediately and contact your local gas utility or emergency services from a safe location.

  • Can I find or repair a gas leak myself?

    Gas leak detection and repair should be handled by qualified professionals. Do not attempt to repair, tighten, disconnect, or modify gas piping yourself.

  • Can a gas leak come from an appliance?

    Yes. Gas appliances and their connections can potentially develop leaks. If you suspect an appliance is involved, leave the area and have the system professionally inspected.

  • How is a gas leak detected?

    You should address a serious plumbing problem as soon as possible. Water can quickly damage flooring, walls, ceilings, cabinets, and other parts of your property. Prompt professional attention can help minimize the potential damage.

  • Can a small gas leak become dangerous?

    Yes. Even a suspected small leak should be taken seriously because natural gas is highly flammable. The safest approach is to leave the area and contact the appropriate emergency or gas utility service.
