What to Do if You Suspect a Gas Leak

If you smell a strong gas odor or believe an active leak may be present, leave the area immediately. Avoid using electrical switches, open flames, vehicles, or anything else that could create an ignition source near the suspected leak. Once you are safely away, contact 911 and your gas utility as appropriate.

After the immediate safety concern has been addressed and the property is safe to access, Scooter Plumbing can provide gas leak detection to help determine where the system is losing gas and what plumbing work may be needed to correct the problem.

Common Signs You May Need Gas Leak Detection

Gas leaks are not always obvious. If your property uses natural gas or another fuel-gas system, signs that should be investigated can include:

• A sulfur-like or rotten-egg odor
• Hissing or whistling sounds near gas piping or appliance connections
• Dead or discolored vegetation above an underground gas line
• Unexplained changes in gas usage
• A recurring gas odor around a particular appliance, valve, or section of piping

Carbon monoxide is a separate hazard from a natural gas leak and cannot be detected by smell. Homes and businesses with fuel-burning equipment should use properly installed carbon monoxide alarms and follow the equipment manufacturer's maintenance recommendations.

If you have noticed a recurring gas odor or another warning sign, contact Scooter Plumbing to discuss gas leak detection after any immediate emergency has been made safe.
