Warning Signs You Have a Gas Leak
Natural gas is colorless and nearly odorless in its natural state — utility companies add a sulfur compound (mercaptan) to give it that familiar “rotten egg” smell so leaks can be detected. Knowing the warning signs could save your life:
- Sulfur or rotten egg odor — The most recognizable sign of a gas leak. Even a faint smell warrants immediate action.
- Hissing or whistling sounds near gas lines, appliances, or your meter — even without a visible crack or break.
- Dead or dying vegetation in an otherwise healthy area of your yard — underground leaks can suffocate plant roots.
- Unexplained spike in your gas bill — A sudden increase with no change in usage is a red flag.
- Bubbling in standing water near your gas line path — gas escaping underground can bubble up through soil and puddles.
- Physical symptoms including headaches, dizziness, nausea, or fatigue when indoors — low-level exposure to natural gas can cause these before a smell is obvious.
If you experience any of these warning signs, do not use light switches, open flames, or any electrical devices. Exit the building immediately, move a safe distance away, and call 911 followed by (281) 601-1513.
