What to Do if You Suspect You Have a Gas Leak

Have you noticed hissing from your stove or the smell of rotten eggs seeping through your home?

Are you experiencing headaches or lightheadedness?

You may have a natural gas leak, and you need to take steps immediately.

First and foremost, you and your entire family should leave the premises. Natural gas is extremely flammable, and it’s dangerous to be in a home with a natural gas leak. After leaving the premises, call 9-1-1. It might feel like an extreme reaction, but a natural gas leak is an emergency. Your next call should be to your natural gas provider. They will send a technician to assess the situation and shut off the natural gas flow to your home.

Though your natural gas provider can turn off the flow of gas to your home, they cannot repair your damaged gas line. After it’s safe to reenter your home, you’ll need to contact a plumbing and heating specialist to examine your gas line and repair the damaged portions.
