If You Smell Gas Right Now

If you smell a strong gas odor in or around your home right now, leave the property immediately, do not turn any light switches, appliances, or anything electrical on or off, and call your gas utility company or 911 from a safe distance. Do not wait for a scheduled appointment. This page is intended for locating the source of a suspected leak once the immediate safety situation has been addressed, not for responding to an active emergency.

Signs of a Gas Leak

A gas leak often gives warning signs before it becomes a more serious situation.

A Rotten Egg Smell Near a Line or Appliance

Natural gas is naturally odorless, so utility companies add a distinct rotten egg smell specifically so a leak can be detected by scent. Any hint of this smell near a gas line, meter, or appliance is worth taking seriously.

A Hissing Sound Near a Gas Connection

A hissing or whistling sound near a gas appliance, line, or connection point can indicate gas escaping under pressure.

Dead or Discolored Vegetation Above a Buried Line

Plants or grass that die off or turn brown in a strip above where a buried gas line runs, without another clear cause, can indicate gas escaping into the surrounding soil.

A Higher Than Normal Gas Bill

An unexplained increase in your gas bill, without a corresponding increase in actual use, can point to gas escaping the system before it reaches your appliances.

Why Gas Lines Leak

Aging gas lines and fittings are the most common cause, since connections and seals can deteriorate over years of use. Corrosion affects older metal lines in particular, and ground movement, the same clay-heavy soil that affects water and sewer lines throughout Marietta, can also stress a buried gas line's joints over time. Physical damage during digging or landscaping work is another common cause worth ruling out if a leak develops shortly after any excavation on the property.

How We Detect a Gas Leak

Careful, methodical detection is essential when locating a gas leak.

Electronic Gas Detection

Electronic gas detection equipment identifies the presence and concentration of gas in the air, helping narrow down the specific area where a leak is occurring.

Soap Bubble Testing at Connections

At accessible fittings and connections, a soap solution applied to the joint will visibly bubble if gas is escaping, providing a direct, simple confirmation at that specific point.

What Happens Once the Leak Is Located

Once a leak is located, you receive a clear explanation of where it is and what repair options are available. Depending on the location and severity, this may involve coordination with your gas utility provider in addition to any plumbing-side repair work needed.
