When to Call a Plumber for Gas Line Repair

Gas line issues can be tough to spot, but you can keep your home and family safe by knowing the warning signs. If you notice any of the following signs of a gas leak, evacuate the area and call a professional plumber right away:

  • A rotten egg smell: A sulfur-like odor added to natural gas to make leaks detectable.
  • Hissing noise: A sound coming from a gas line or appliance may indicate a leak.
  • Dying vegetation near the line: Unexplained dead plants near the gas line could signal a leak.

If you notice the following issues with your gas appliance, it may not be an emergency, but you should call a professional as soon as you can:

  • Weak flame: A decrease in the strength of your appliance’s flame may indicate a gas flow problem.
  • Inconsistent heating: If your water heater or furnace is struggling to maintain temperature, it could be a sign of a gas line issue.

Corrosion or visible damage to exposed piping can weaken the integrity of your gas lines and increase the risk of leaks. Additionally, if you experience an unexplained increase in your gas bills, it may mean a hidden leak needs immediate attention.


*Note: John C. Flood technicians do not repair your physical appliance attached to the gas line, but are experts in repairing gas line-to-home connections.
