5 Signs You Have a Gas Leak

Gas leaks are not something you can put off until tomorrow. When you suspect a natural gas leak, it’s essential to take prompt action to protect your family, pets, and home. The following are common signs that a natural gas leak is present:

1. Rotten egg odor: The chemical added to natural gas smells like rotten eggs. It’s often the first noticeable sign of a leak.
2. Health symptoms: Dizziness, headaches, nausea, irritated eyes, and fatigue are all symptoms of natural gas poisoning.
3. Hissing: Natural gas may hiss as it escapes through damaged seals, pipes, or broken valves.
4. Rising gas usage: If your bills are rising without a change in normal use, you may have a hidden leak somewhere outside your home.
5. Dying houseplants: Houseplants exposed to natural gas can wither and wilt.

If you suspect a natural gas leak, it’s essential to open windows and doors and evacuate the home immediately. Do not attempt to retrieve possessions, shut off lights or appliances, or make any phone calls. 

Once safely outside and away from the home, contact 911 followed by the utility provider’s emergency number to request they shut the gas off. Finally, when the gas is shut off and safe, contact a qualified natural gas line plumber to inspect the line and perform any required repairs.
