Common Signs of Gas Line Problems

Gas line issues can be extremely dangerous and should never be ignored. Some problems—especially gas leaks—pose serious health and safety risks, including the potential for explosions or carbon monoxide poisoning. If you suspect a leak, leave the area immediately and contact Southwest Gas or emergency services before calling a plumber.

Warning Signs of a Gas Leak:

🚨 A rotten egg or sulfur-like odor

🚨 Hissing or whistling sounds near gas lines or appliances

🚨 Dead or discolored vegetation above underground gas lines

🚨 Physical symptoms like dizziness, nausea, headaches, or fatigue

If you notice any of these, treat it as an emergency.

Other Signs of Gas Line Issues (Non-Emergency):

Even if a problem doesn’t require immediate evacuation, it may still signal a serious issue that needs professional attention:

⚠️ A sudden increase in your gas bill without explanation

⚠️ A yellow pilot light (instead of blue)

⚠️ Visible damage to gas appliances, such as soot or scorching

⚠️ Trouble lighting or keeping gas appliances lit

If you’re noticing any of the above, it’s time to schedule an inspection with our licensed gas plumbers.
