Gas 801

Gas Leak Detection and Repair

A smell, a hiss, a detector going off, or a utility bill that jumped for no obvious reason.

Say the safety part first because it matters more than anything else on this page: if you smell gas, hear a hiss near a pipe or appliance, or a detector is going off, leave the house immediately and call the gas utility's emergency line or 911 from outside. Do not go back in to search for it, do not flip switches, and do not wait to see if the smell passes. That is not something to handle yourself or to book a service call for first.

Once the situation has been called in and confirmed safe, finding the actual source — a bad fitting, a corroded section of pipe, a joint that was never sealed correctly — is licensed work, and pressure testing the line afterward is how a contractor proves the repair actually held rather than just looking finished. A slow leak that never trips a detector can still show up as an unexplained jump in the gas bill, which is worth mentioning when you call even if nothing smells obviously wrong.
