Signs Of a Gas Leak

Over time gas lines can become weak due to corrosion and cause gas leaks. For this reason, we always recommend routine gas line maintenance. This will help detect weak gas lines before they start leaking. Give us a call today at Santa Barbara Pro Plumbers and have our plumbers look at your gas line. These are some signs of a gas leak.

Dead Plants

Dead plants may be a sign of a gas leak. When the gas is released into the air, it absorbs most of the oxygen, causing your plants and shrubs to die.  If you notice yellow grass and dead plants in your yard, it could be a sign of gas leaks. You need to call us as soon as possible so that our team can come over and do gas leak testing.

Rotten Egg Smell

Gas supply companies add the chemical mercaptan to natural gas to give it a noticeable smell.  This is to make it easy to detect gas leaks in your home. If you or any of your family members notice a rotten egg odor, you should call our plumbers as soon as possible. You shouldn’t wait as gas leaks can be deadly.

Hissing Sounds

Hissing sounds near the gas line could mean your gas line is leaking. Contact our plumbers as soon as you hear hissing sounds near your gas line. Our experts will come over and check your gas line for leaks. We take calls for suspected gas leaks seriously because we know how dangerous gas leaks are.

What to Do if You Suspect a Gas Leak

This is what you should do in case of a gas leak in your Santa Barbara home.  

• Open the windows and doors and leave the house immediately. Trying to turn off the gas can generate sparks and cause an explosion.
• Don’t try to investigate the source of the leak.  Leave the house and call a professional plumber to come and find the leak.
• Do not turn on the lights or any electrical appliances. Wait until our plumbers have taken care of the leak before you can operate any electrical appliances
• Get everyone out of the house, including pets, and contact a professional plumber.

• Regular Inspection.
• Have a CO detector.
• Ensure proper ventilation to facilitate enough airflow in case of a leak.
