What to Do If You Suspect a Gas Leak
If you smell the distinctive rotten egg odor of a gas leak, hear hissing near gas lines, or notice dead vegetation around outdoor gas meters, you need to act immediately to protect your family. Your first call should always be to your gas utility company's emergency line. They can shut off gas service to your home and verify whether a leak exists. Do not attempt to locate the leak yourself or turn any gas valves.
Evacuate everyone from your home, including pets, and move to a safe distance away from the building. Avoid using anything that could create a spark, including light switches, phones, flashers, garage door openers, or vehicle ignitions, while still near the structure. Once the utility company has secured the situation and confirmed it's safe to return, contact Proper Plumbing to inspect your gas lines, identify the source of the leak, and perform necessary repairs.
Protecting Your Gas Line System
While gas lines are built to last for decades, proper care and awareness help maintain their integrity and catch potential issues before they become dangerous.
To avoid gas line emergencies:
- Schedule regular inspections. Annual professional inspections identify corrosion, loose connections, and wear before they develop into leaks or safety hazards.
- Know your gas line locations. Understanding where lines run through your property prevents accidental damage during landscaping, fence installation, or other digging projects.
- Monitor appliance performance. Changes in flame color (from blue to yellow), pilot lights that frequently go out, or unusual odors near appliances can indicate gas line problems.
- Protect exposed lines. Keep areas around outdoor gas meters and exposed pipes clear of debris, vegetation, and potential impact from lawn equipment or vehicles.
- Address appliance upgrades properly. When replacing gas appliances, have a professional verify that existing gas lines are properly sized and configured for the new equipment.
- Watch for foundation shifts. Settling, earthquakes, or foundation movement can stress gas lines and create dangerous separation points that need professional evaluation.
- Never DIY gas line work. Even seemingly simple tasks like disconnecting a gas dryer or stove require proper techniques to prevent leaks. Always call a licensed professional.
Taking these precautions helps maintain a safe gas system throughout your home. Combined with professional service when needed, these practices provide peace of mind that your gas lines are operating safely and reliably.
