Do You have a Gas Leak?
Natural gas can be used in many locations: furnace, water heater, stove and oven, clothes dryer, and other household appliances. How do you know if you have a gas leak? The easiest way to detect a gas leak is with your nose. If you detect a rotten egg smell, then you may have a gas leak. Natural gas is odorless but companies deliberately add an unpleasant odor to the gas so that it can be detected during a gas leak.
Outdoor gas leaks from underground pipes can be detected by looking at your plants. If your plants have turned yellow and sickly, it could indicate a nearby gas leak. Another sign of a gas leak is if you hear a hissing sound or your plants waving as if there was a strong breeze. If the ground is moist, a gas leak can be seen as bubbles coming up from the soil.
What to do if you have a Gas Leak
If you think you have a gas leak, you should do these following things:
- Turning off all gas stove burners and avoid turning light switches on and off. Don’t light a match or do anything that might cause a spark.
- Open windows and doors to get fresh airflow.
- If you think there could be an explosion, leave the house and call 911.
- Contact a professional plumber for evaluation and services.
