I Think I May Have A Gas Leak, What Should I Do?
How To Tell If You Have A Gas Leak
Pipes or appliances powered by natural gas can develop leaks, which can have potentially negative effects. It’s important to be able to identify natural gas leak symptoms and to know what to do if you have a gas leak. If you detect any of the following signs of a natural gas leak in your house or think you have been exposed, leave as many doors and windows open as you can and exit the building as soon as possible. Call 911 and let your local gas company know about the situation. The building will not be safe to re-enter until emergency services and your local gas company inspect the gas line. Once they have ensured the property is safe and located the damage, it is time to call Aspen Plumbing Services so we can repair or replace the line right away.
Key Signs You May Have A Gas Leak
The smell of rotten eggs. In its natural state, natural gas is odorless and colorless. To make gas leaks easier to detect, gas companies add chemicals called odorants to create a natural gas smell similar to Sulphur or rotting eggs. The stronger this smell, the more likely it is that you have a gas leak.
Hissing sounds. Large gas leaks in pipes or appliances may produce hissing noises, even if the appliance is turned off. Check pipes and appliances regularly, listening for any hissing noises.
Air bubbles outside your home. Natural gas leaks can also occur in underground piping outside the home. If you see bubbles in standing water—including puddles and mud—it may be a sign of natural gas dispersing through the soil and into the surrounding air.
Dead or dying plants. Dead, dying or stunted plants inside or outside your home can be a potential sign of a natural gas leak in your home, especially if you’ve been taking proper care of your plants. The presence of natural gas prevents a plant’s roots from absorbing oxygen and can lead to wilting. Natural gas leaks can also cause smaller-than-normal leaves on trees, wilted plants and yellowish patches of grass.
What NOT To Do
Knowing what NOT to do is just as important as knowing what to do when you suspect a gas leak. So, if you suspect a gas leak, then:
- Do NOT light a match or lighter.
- Do NOT try to turn on the stove or oven.
- Do NOT smoke a cigarette.
- Do NOT use electrical devices (INCLUDING your phone).
Basically, you want to AVOID igniting the gas which is EXTREMELY flammable. It is best to drop everything and exit the building immediately if you suspect a gas leak.

Plumbing Tips From The Experts
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do I Need a Plumber to Clear a Clogged Drain?
Chemical drain cleaners can be dangerous and we do not recommend their use in household drains for several reasons. The heat generated by the caustic and acidic cleaners can damage your pipes, especially older pipes, and they can become weakened and crack over time. Regular use can lead to expensive repairs down the line because damaged pipes are more susceptible to leaking or even bursting. Our expert plumbers in Jackson have the proper equipment and knowledge to assess your clog and get your pipes running smoothly quickly! Call us today at (517) 750-9913!
What Are The Signs Of A Plumbing Leak?
Some plumbing leaks can be hard to detect, especially if they are behind your walls or in the ceiling. While small leaks may not necessarily indicate a large issue, over time they can cause a lot of damage, far beyond just your plumbing by causing mold and damage to your drywall and subflooring. Below are just a few indications that you might have a plumbing leak:
- Your water bills are increasing but your water usage is staying the same
- You are seeing discoloration or staining on the walls or on your ceiling
- Reduced water pressure unexpectedly
- Strange sounds in your walls near where pipes run

How Can I Prevent Frozen Water Pipes?
What Shouldn’t I Put Down My Sink?
Whether it’s your kitchen, bathroom or laundry sink, it’s important to be mindful of what you put down the drain. Substances such as grease, flour, oils, caustic chemicals and other sticky substances should not go down your drain. Over time, they may cause a clog which will slow down your drains and could cause serious plumbing complications. Be sure to dispose of these liquids properly to ensure your drains and pipes are running smooth for years to come.
How Do Roots Get Into My Pipes?
Over time, roots can enter your in-ground pipes either through a cracked pipe or broken pipe connection. The roots follow water the water and oxygen and they can cause extensive pipe damage and clogs. Our expert plumbers and drain cleaning and jetting experts at Aspen Plumbing Services have the knowledge and equipment to remove the roots and repair or replace the pipe. If you expect your pipes may have roots, call us today at (517) 750-9913.
Why Won't My Toilet Stop Running?
Have you flushed the toilet just to come back later and find it still running? This is a common occurrence especially in homes with older toilets because over time the flapper loses its water-tight seal around the flush-valve opening allowing water to continue to flow into the toilet bowl from the tank. This can be very costly and cause your water meter or well-pump to run excessively. If your toilet looks to be in need of repair or replacement, call Aspen Plumbing Services today.
