Recognizing a Gas Leak: Key Indicators
As soon as you get a gas leak in the house, the evidence will jump right out at you.
Make sure you recognize these instant signs of a gas leak in your home:
- Odor – Natural gas is odorless and invisible, which is why the gas company adds a chemical called mercaptan to it. Mercaptan has a strong odor of rotting eggs and you will be able to know you have a gas leak right away if you detect this odor.
- Hissing sounds – If you hear a hissing sound coming out of one of your gas lines, it is a strong indicator that you have a gas leak.
- Outdoor leaks – Dying or brown vegetation on your lawn or yard can be an indicator of a gas leak. The gas poisons the plants, which causes them to die off.
If you are getting headaches indoors, it could also be an indicator of a gas leak and that you might need gas line repair. Breathing in the gas causes a lack of oxygen to get to the brain, which can cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, and fatigue.
What Should You Do If There is a Gas Leak?
Make sure you know the signs of a gas leak and can recognize them when you see, hear, or smell them. Identifying a gas leak early on and getting gas line repair could prevent the gas from making its way throughout the rest of the house where it will be breathed in by the occupants, or in worst case scenarios, cause an explosion from any spark.
If you detect a gas leak, it is important that you:
- Get out of your home right away – Don’t stop to do anything other than to get out your family and pets out of the home immediately.
- Make sure not to turn on any electrical devices in your home – The electrical spark of the device turning on could cause the gas to ignite.
- Call us right away to come out to your home to repair the leak – You can also call your local gas company. Just make sure first that you are in a safe distance from your home.
