When you suspect a gas leak, it’s only natural to feel worried. We get it—your family’s safety and your home’s comfort come first. At Fix & Flow, we’re here to help you spot the signs fast, understand what’s happening, and get it fixed quickly and expertly.
Signs You Might Have a Gas Leak
1. That familiar rotten-egg smell
Natural gas is odorless—but utility providers add a scent called mercaptan so you can detect leaks by smell. If you catch that sulfur or “rotten egg” odor, don’t ignore it. It’s a clear red flag.
2. Hissing sounds or strange noises
If you hear a faint hissing or whistling near gas lines or appliances, take notice. Gas escaping under pressure often makes that sound.
3. Plant trouble near gas lines
Underground gas leaks can kill or damage vegetation nearby. If you see dying grass, shrubs, or bubbling water around a gas line, it’s time to take it seriously.
4. Weird symptoms or visual cues
Feeling dizzy, nauseated, or having headaches at home? These could be signs of gas exposure. Outdoors, look for bubbles in puddles, fog, or even unexplained dirt movement around gas pipes.
Why Acting Fast Matters
Gas leaks pose serious risks:
- Fire and explosion are possible even with a tiny spark.
- Health hazards like dizziness, breathing issues, or worse, can occur from repeated exposure.
- Environmental damage through methane release and harm to plants and wildlife.
At Fix & Flow, we treat every leak as urgent—your safety is our top priority.
What You Should Do—Right Now
- Leave the house immediately. Don’t wait to pack or check things.
- Don’t touch anything—no lights, electronics, or even opening the fridge. Sparks travel.
- Ventilate as you leave—open windows and doors if it’s safe.
Call for help once you’re safe. Dial your local gas provider or emergency services from a neighbor’s phone or your cell outside.
How Fix & Flow Handles It
When you call us, we take over so you don’t have to worry:
Thorough inspection: We visually examine your system, test for pressure drops, use electronic sniffer tools, and even apply safe soap solutions for pinpointing leaks.
Secure and precise repairs: Depending on the issue, we might replace segments, re-seal connections, or adjust fittings—always adhering to the highest safety standards.
Final testing: After repairs, we test again—including pressure tests—to make sure everything is tight and safe.
Common Questions Homeowners Ask
Can I handle a gas leak myself?
Never. Gas leaks are dangerous—only certified pros like Fix & Flow should manage them.
How often should I get gas lines checked?
At least once a year, especially if your home is older, if you notice plant damage, get odd odors, or are planning renovations.
Should I install a gas detector? Absolutely—a gas detector adds a layer of protection by alerting you before a leak becomes serious
How long does repair take? Most simple leaks are repaired same-day. More complex jobs may take longer—but we’ll always keep you informed and safe.
