Signs You May Have a Gas Leak
Natural gas is colorless and odorless in its natural state. For safety, a harmless odorant (mercaptan) is added to give it a distinctive rotten egg smell. If you detect even a faint odor of gas, take immediate action.
- This distinctive “rotten egg” or sulfur smell.
- A hissing or whistling sound near a gas appliance or line.
- Dirt or dust blowing into the air from a hole in the ground or near a connection.
- Bubbles in standing water or wet areas.
- Unexplained dead or dying vegetation near a gas line.
If you suspect a gas leak, do not wait. Immediately: Leave the area on foot. Do not use light switches, appliances, telephones, or cell phones inside the building. Do not start vehicles. Once you are safely away from the building, call your local gas utility provider or 911 immediately. Then, contact LocalPro for follow-up service once authorities declare the area safe.
Why Gas Work Needs a Licensed Pro
Natural gas is safe when handled correctly, but it is also highly flammable and potentially dangerous if mishandled or improperly installed. In Florida, state and local regulations strictly require that all gas line installation, repair, and appliance connection work be performed by a licensed and insured professional contractor. Attempting to perform gas work without a license is illegal, unsafe, and can lead to voided insurance policies, hazardous leaks, fires, or explosions. Only a licensed professional has the expertise, specialized tools, and knowledge to ensure connections are properly sealed, systems are correctly sized, and pressure tests are performed to code.
