What to Do If You Smell Gas

Natural gas is odorless on its own. Utility companies add mercaptan, a sulfur compound that produces that familiar rotten-egg smell, so leaks can be detected before they become dangerous. If you notice that smell, act immediately.

Other signs of a gas leak include hissing or whistling sounds near appliances or buried lines, dirt or dust pushed up from the ground without an obvious cause, bubbling in standing water near your yard, and patches of dead or dying vegetation in an otherwise healthy lawn.

Immediate steps to take:

• Leave the building immediately without flipping light switches or using your phone indoors
• Don’t start your car in an attached garage
• Move upwind to a safe distance from the structure
• Call 911, then contact PG&E’s emergency line at (408) 721-5956
• Once authorities confirm the area is safe, contact a licensed plumber for gas line repair

Common Gas Line Problems We Repair

Several conditions can compromise a residential gas line. Corrosion weakens metal pipe over time, especially in older systems. Ground shifting, tree root intrusion, and nearby construction can crack or displace buried lines. Improper past installation leaves fittings and joints prone to slow leaks. Low gas pressure or appliances that won’t stay lit can also point to a restriction or leak in the line itself rather than a problem with the appliance.

Gas line repair isn’t a DIY project. Attempting repairs without a license is unsafe and can violate local code requirements. Our licensed technicians handle diagnosis and repair correctly, from the first detection step through restoring service to your appliances.
