Natural gas has revolutionized the way we live, but like many technologies, it comes with certain risks. Do you know how to recognize the signs of a natural gas leak? If you notice any of the following signs, leave your home immediately, and call your local utility company. Do not attempt to locate the leak on your own, and do not turn on or off any electrical appliances.
Smell: In its original state, natural gas is odorless. Gas companies add a pungent, powerful odor to natural gas to give it a Sulfuric smell similar to rotten eggs— allowing you to recognize a gas leak immediately.
Sounds: You may also hear a hissing, roaring, or whistling sound, but you may not hear a thing. Don’t rely on auditory cues alone. If you suspect something may be wrong, leave the house right away!
Visual Cues: You may see a white cloud or mist, but again, you may not see or hear a thing. It cannot be overstated—when in doubt, get out of the house.
