Why Gas Leak Detection Matters

 

Gas leaks are serious. Even a small leak can build up and lead to devastating consequences. Beyond the risk of fire or explosion, prolonged gas exposure can cause health issues such as dizziness, nausea, and respiratory problems.

 

Common Causes of Gas Leaks

 

  • Corroded or aging gas lines

  • Damaged or improperly installed appliances (stoves, furnaces, water heaters)

  • Loose pipe fittings

  • Underground line damage from tree roots or construction

 

Call +1(408) 295-4309 immediately if you suspect a gas leak. Our licensed plumbers are available 24/7.

 

How We Detect Gas Leaks

 

We use advanced tools and techniques to identify leaks quickly and precisely:

 

  • Electronic gas detectors – High-sensitivity equipment for pinpointing even small leaks

  • Soap bubble testing – Classic method for identifying visible gas leaks

  • Infrared thermal imaging – To spot leaks behind walls or below ground

  • Pressure testing – To check system integrity and ensure safe operation

 

Signs You May Have a Gas Leak

 

  • Rotten egg or sulfur odor

  • Hissing sounds near gas lines

  • Unusually high gas bills

  • Dead or dying plants near buried gas lines

  • Headaches, nausea, or dizziness indoors

 

If you notice these signs, evacuate the home and call us immediately.

signs of a gas leak - how to detect and respond before its too late

​​

Gas leaks are a serious threat that can lead to fires, explosions, and health risks if not detected early. Whether your home uses natural gas or propane, recognizing the signs of a leak and acting quickly is essential for safety.

 

At Repipe Champions, we specialize in expert gas leak detection and emergency repairs to protect homes and businesses throughout the Bay Area. Here are the top warning signs of a gas leak—and what to do if you suspect one.

 

1. The Smell of Rotten Eggs or Sulfur

 

Utility companies add a chemical called mercaptan to natural gas to create a strong, sulfur-like odor. If you detect this smell inside or outside your home, you could have a dangerous leak.

 

What to Do:

 

  • Evacuate the home immediately.

  • Do not use electronics, flip light switches, or create sparks.

  • Call your gas provider or 911 from a safe location.

 

2. Hissing or Whistling Sounds Near Gas Lines

 

If you hear a hissing sound near a gas appliance, meter, or line, gas could be escaping under pressure.

 

What to Do:

 

  • Shut off the main gas valve only if it is safe to do so.

  • Open windows and doors for ventilation.

  • Contact Repipe Champions for emergency inspection and repair.

 

3. Dead or Dying Vegetation Near Gas Lines

 

Discolored grass, dead shrubs, or wilting plants near underground gas lines can indicate a leak in the soil.

 

What to Do:

 

  • Inspect for additional signs like odors or soft ground.

  • Do not dig or disturb the area.

  • Schedule a professional gas leak detection service.

 

4. Unexplained High Gas Bills

 

A hidden leak can cause your gas usage to spike without explanation.

 

What to Do:

 

  • Compare recent gas bills for unusual increases.

  • Ensure all gas appliances are functioning efficiently.

  • Call a licensed technician to test your gas system.

 

5. Physical Symptoms of Gas Exposure

 

Inhaling gas can lead to symptoms such as headaches, nausea, fatigue, or dizziness. These may worsen indoors and improve when you leave the area.

 

What to Do:

 

  • Exit the home immediately and breathe fresh air.

  • Seek medical care if symptoms continue.

  • Contact a licensed plumber to investigate your gas system.

 

What to Do If You Suspect a Gas Leak

 

If you notice any of the signs above:

 

  • Do not turn on lights or use any electronics.

  • Evacuate the home and move to a safe distance.

  • Shut off the main gas valve if safe.

  • Call your gas provider or emergency services.

  • Contact Repipe Champions for professional gas leak repair.
