• Rotten egg or sulfur smell

A strong sulfur or rotten egg odor is one of the most common signs of a gas leak, as natural gas is odorized for safety. If you notice this smell indoors or outdoors, it may indicate gas escaping from a line or connection and should be addressed immediately.

• Hissing sounds near gas lines

A hissing or whistling sound near gas pipes, appliances, or meters can signal gas leaking under pressure. This sound often indicates an active leak and requires prompt professional inspection to prevent serious safety risks.

• Dead patches of grass above buried lines

Gas leaks underground can displace oxygen in the soil, causing grass or plants above the line to turn brown or die unexpectedly. Unusual vegetation damage along gas line paths may point to a hidden leak below the surface.

• Higher-than-normal gas bills

A sudden or unexplained increase in gas usage may be caused by a leak allowing gas to escape continuously. Monitoring your utility bills can help identify problems early before they become hazardous or costly.

• Appliances not working properly

Gas appliances that struggle to ignite, produce weak flames, shut off unexpectedly, or operate inefficiently may be affected by gas line issues or improper pressure. These performance problems often signal an underlying gas supply concern that needs professional attention.
