Suspect a Gas Leak? Call Repipe Champions for Fast, Professional Detection & Repair
If you smell gas in your home or notice unexplained spikes in your energy bill, don’t ignore it. Gas leaks are extremely dangerous—posing serious risks of fire, explosion, and carbon monoxide exposure. At Repipe Champions Plumbing and Rooter, we provide fast, reliable gas leak detection and repair services to keep your home safe and compliant.
Why Immediate Gas Leak Detection Matters
Even a small gas leak can escalate quickly into a life-threatening situation. Beyond fire and explosion risks, long-term exposure to leaking gas can lead to dizziness, fatigue, respiratory issues, and even carbon monoxide poisoning.
Early detection and expert repair are essential for protecting your family, your property, and your peace of mind.
Common Causes of Gas Leaks
Gas leaks can happen in any home or business. The most common sources include:
• Aging or corroded gas lines
• Poorly installed or damaged appliances (stoves, furnaces, water heaters)

• Tree root intrusion or construction damage to underground lines
If you suspect a leak, call us immediately at +1(408) 295-4309. We’re available 24/7 across Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties.
How We Detect Gas Leaks
Our licensed plumbers use advanced diagnostic tools and proven methods to identify leaks safely and accurately:
• Electronic gas detectors – Highly sensitive devices to detect even the smallest gas concentrations
• Soap bubble testing – A precise, manual method for spotting visible leaks at connections
• Infrared thermal imaging – Ideal for detecting leaks hidden behind walls or underground
• System pressure testing – Confirms overall gas line integrity and helps isolate problem areas
We locate the source fast so repairs can begin immediately.

• Strong sulfur or rotten egg smell

signs of a gas leak - how to detect and respond before its too late
Gas Leak Warning Signs and What to Do
Gas leaks are a serious hazard that can result in fires, explosions, and severe health risks if not addressed immediately. Whether your home relies on natural gas or propane, early detection and swift action are critical.
At Repipe Champions Plumbing and Rooter, we specialize in expert gas leak detection and emergency repairs for homes and businesses throughout the Bay Area. Below are the top warning signs of a gas leak—and what to do if you suspect one.
1. Rotten Egg or Sulfur Smell
Utility companies add a chemical called mercaptan to natural gas to produce a strong, sulfur-like odor. If you smell rotten eggs inside or outside your home, it’s likely a gas leak.
What to Do:
• Evacuate the home immediately.
• Do not flip switches, use electronics, or create sparks.
• Call 911 or your gas provider from a safe location.
2. Hissing or Whistling Near Gas Lines
A hissing or whistling noise near a gas appliance, line, or meter may mean gas is escaping under pressure.
What to Do:
• If it’s safe, turn off your main gas valve.
• Open doors and windows to ventilate the area.
• Call Repipe Champions for an emergency inspection.
3. Dead Vegetation Near Gas Lines
Dying grass, discolored plants, or unusually soft soil around underground lines could signal a gas leak beneath the surface.
What to Do:
• Check for additional signs like odors or sounds.
• Do not dig or disturb the area.
• Schedule a professional gas leak detection service.
4. Unusually High Gas Bills
If your gas usage has spiked for no apparent reason, a hidden leak might be the cause.
What to Do:
• Review recent bills for sharp increases.
• Confirm appliances are functioning properly.
• Have your system inspected by a licensed technician.
5. Physical Symptoms of Gas Exposure
Headaches, fatigue, dizziness, or nausea—especially when indoors—can be signs of gas inhalation.
What to Do:
• Leave the building and get fresh air immediately.
• Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
• Contact a qualified plumber to inspect your gas system.
If You Suspect a Gas Leak:
• Don’t use electrical devices or create sparks.
• Evacuate and stay at a safe distance.
• Turn off the main gas valve only if safe.
• Call your gas company or emergency services.
• Contact Repipe Champions for licensed gas repair.
