If you smell gas, leave first
Natural gas has an added odor like rotten eggs. If you smell it strongly, do not turn lights or appliances on or off, do not use your phone inside, and do not light anything. Get everyone out, then call your gas utility's emergency line or 911 from a safe distance.
Warning signs
A rotten-egg smell, a hissing sound near a gas line or appliance, dead plants over a buried gas line, bubbles in standing water outdoors, or an unexplained rise in your gas bill.
After the area is safe
Once the utility or responders have made the area safe, a plumber can locate and repair the leak. Our gas line repair service includes leak location, repair and pressure testing before gas is restored.
Gas appliances and water heaters
Gas water heaters need proper venting and connections. If you notice a gas smell near your water heater, have it inspected. We handle water heater repair and tankless installation with correct gas sizing.
