Signs of a Gas Leak and What to Do

Knowing how to identify a potential gas leak and the correct safety procedures to follow can be life-saving. Natural gas is colorless and odorless, so utility companies add a chemical called mercaptan to give it a distinct, unpleasant smell for easy detection. If you notice this or other signs, you must act fast. Your immediate actions are crucial for safety.

Recognize these warning signs of a potential gas leak:

• A "Rotten Egg" Smell: The most common and obvious sign is the distinct odor of mercaptan.
• Hissing or Roaring Sounds: An unusual noise coming from a gas line or appliance could indicate a significant leak.
• Dead or Dying Vegetation: A leak in an underground gas line outside your home can kill the grass and plants above it.
• Bubbling in Wet Areas: If a gas line is leaking under a puddle or wet spot on your property, you may see bubbles on the surface.

If you suspect a leak, follow these steps IMMEDIATELY:

• Do NOT use electronics: Do not turn any lights or appliances on or off. Do not use your phone or flashlight inside the house. Any spark could cause ignition.
• Extinguish any open flames: Immediately put out any candles, fireplaces, or other open flames.
• Evacuate Everyone: Get everyone out of the building immediately.
• Call from a Safe Distance: Once you are safely outside and away from the building, call your gas utility company and a certified gas repair plumber.

Why You Must Never Ignore a Gas Leak

A gas leak is one of the most hazardous situations a homeowner can face. Ignoring even the faintest smell of gas or dismissing a hissing sound can have devastating consequences. Unlike a water leak, which causes property damage, a gas leak is a direct threat to life and health.

The primary risk is fire or explosion. Natural gas is highly flammable, and a sufficient concentration in the air can be ignited by a tiny spark from a light switch, static electricity, or an appliance. This can result in catastrophic damage to your home and serious injury.

Beyond the risk of explosion, gas leaks can also lead to serious health problems. As natural gas displaces oxygen in a room, it can cause dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. In severe cases, it can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be fatal.
