Natural gas is safe when everything’s working — but a leak is dangerous. Knowing the signs and the right response protects your family.
Here’s what every homeowner should know about gas line safety.
Signs of a gas leak
Act immediately if you notice:
- A rotten-egg or sulfur smell
- A hissing sound near a gas line or appliance
- Dead or discolored plants over a buried line
- Dizziness, nausea, or headaches indoors
- An unusually high gas bill
What to do if you suspect a leak
Stay safe first:
- Leave the area immediately
- Don’t use switches, phones, or flames inside
- Don’t try to find the leak yourself
- Call your gas utility and a licensed plumber from outside
