What is going on
Gas leaks happen at threaded joints, flexible appliance connectors, corroded pipe, and fittings disturbed by remodeling or settling. Underground lines can corrode or get hit by digging. Signs include the rotten egg smell added to natural gas, hissing near a line or appliance, dead plants over an underground line, or a meter that moves with no appliances running. Any suspected leak should be treated as an emergency.

Before we get there
If you smell gas, leave the house now and call the gas utility from outside. Do not flip switches or start a car in the garage. Once the utility says it is safe to go back in, call us for the repair and pressure test.
