How Can You Tell If You Have a Gas Leak?
Natural gas has no color or smell. This is why gas companies add a chemical called mercaptan to the supply; this is the chemical that releases the rotten egg smell in the event of a gas leak. However, gas leaks may still be occurring even if you don’t smell rotten eggs.
Look out for these other clues:
- Hissing sounds coming from the lines near your gas appliances indicate pipes that are broken and possibly leaking
- A patch of dead or dying vegetation near your gas line (while other areas of your lawn seem normal)
- In looser earth, look for dirt or dust blowing from a hole; this is pressurized air escaping
Contact us immediately if you notice any of these signs. Our gas plumbers in Knoxville will track the leak and work with local gas providers to make sure your gas line is repaired.
What to Do If You Have a Gas Leak
If you suspect a gas leak, do not turn your lights on or off, use any appliances, or even use the phone. The slightest spark can cause an explosion. Do not try to shut off your gas valves, either. Leave your home immediately and head to a safe area. Once you are out of your home, report the leak to your gas company.
