Signs You May Have a Gas Leak
Gas leaks can be subtle—but they can also be life-threatening. It’s important to act quickly if you notice any of the following warning signs:
ð¥Rotten egg smell or sulfur smell (added odorant in gas)
ð¥Whistling or hissing sound near gas lines or appliances
ð¥Unexplained bubbles in outdoor puddles or soil
ð¥Dead grass or vegetation above buried gas lines
ð¥Unusual appliance behavior like flickering pilot lights or low flame
ð¥Sudden spike in gas bills
without a change in usage
If you suspect a leak, evacuate the area immediately. Do not use phones or switches inside the building. Call your local utility provider to shut off the service and then contact NOVA Gas for a licensed repair.
Emergency Gas Line Shutdown & Service Restoration
- Evacuate the building – Ensure all occupants leave safely.
- Do not use electronics, phones, or light switches – Sparks can trigger explosions.
- Call your gas utility provider – Report the leak and request emergency shut-off.
- Contact NOVA Gas – Our licensed technicians are available to respond, inspect, and repair your system once the scene is secure.
We coordinate directly with utility companies and local fire marshals to restore your property safely and as quickly as possible.
Emergency Gas Leak Detection & Diagnostics
Our team uses specialized leak detection tools to locate even hard-to-find issues in commercial gas systems. We can isolate the problem with minimal disruption, whether it’s:
ð¥Leaking joints, fittings, or flex lines
ð¥Corrosion or damage to underground pipes
ð¥Improper installation from previous contractors
ð¥Failing shut-off valves or regulators
ð¥Appliances leaking at connection points
Once the leak is located, we’ll determine whether a spot repair, section replacement, or full system upgrade is the safest and most cost-effective solution.
