A gas leak is no joke, and it’s not something you should try to solve on your own. For you and your family's safety, always call a professional if you suspect you have a leak in your home.
Our team at bluefrog Plumbing + Drain provides skilled gas leak detection services 24/7. We quickly identify where the leak is coming from and remedy the problem so you can get back to normal as soon as possible.
Even if you’re not sure that what you smell is gas or you suspect your alarm might be faulty, it’s always better to call us for a false alarm than to keep your family in a potentially dangerous environment.
What To Do If You Suspect A Gas Leak
- Don’t use phones, light switches, garage door openers, or any other electrical devices while you’re still inside.
- Open doors and windows
- Leave the home right away, and get everyone to a safe distance outside.
- Call 911 from outside the home.
- Once you’re outside and safe, schedule a service appointment with your local Bluefrog Plumbing + Drain expert.
How To Recognize A Gas Leak:
Signs, Smells, And Sounds
Natural gas is odorized, so many homeowners notice a “rotten eggs” or sulfur smell first. You might also hear a hissing sound near a gas line, appliance connection, or meter.
Some leaks show visible warning signs, like dead or dying vegetation near a buried line, or bubbling in standing water outdoors.
Natural gas and carbon monoxide aren’t the same. Carbon monoxide is odorless, and you need a dedicated carbon monoxide detector to warn you of it.

Common Causes of Gas Leaks in Your Home
Protect Yourself Against These Silent Disasters
The most common cause of a gas leak in your home is a pilot light on your stove going out. Even though most modern stoves have automatic shut-off valves, you should always check your stove first if you smell gas in your home. If you can’t relight the pilot light or if you continue to smell gas, call us immediately.
If you smell gas in your home or if your hot water stops working, the problem might be your water heater. It’s always a good idea to schedule maintenance visits to prevent issues with your water heater.
A carbon monoxide leak is odorless and silent. The best way to protect against it is to schedule regular inspections of your furnace and other appliances that use combustion and to have bluefrog install a carbon monoxide detector.
