A faulty gas line in your home can cause a wide range of problems. Along with posing potential health issues, it can affect the performance of your gas-powered appliances and the overall comfort of your home. Here are a few signs to look out for, so you’ll know when you need gas line repair.

How to Tell If You Need Gas Line Repair

1. Strange Smells

A rotten egg odor is added to gas to make leaks easy to detect. Foul odors can also cause dizziness, nausea, and feelings of fatigue. If you believe there is an immediate gas leak, evacuate everyone from the property and call for emergency services, either 911 or the fire department, from outside.

2. Dead or Dying Plants

If you notice your once lush lawn has suddenly turned brown, chances are it has something to do with escaping gas from an underground line. You may also notice condensation on windows with no obvious cause. For further confirmation, try pouring water over the brown area on your lawn. If bubbles form, gas is leaking from below.

3. Faulty Appliances

Check on the function of your gas appliances as well. Appliances may not work properly or make hissing noises when powered on. Also, take a look at recent gas bills. A sudden increase could be because of a gas leak, especially if energy spikes are accompanied by other warning signs.
