Look for Signs You Need Pipe Leak Repair

Watch for Signs of a Gas or Sewer Leak
Gas and sewer leaks can be a health hazard or an emergency and should be handled right away. If you notice signs of a gas leak, leave your home, and call 911 or your gas company immediately. After the gas company turns your gas off, you can call us for gas line replacement and installation. Watch for these warning signs of a gas leak:
- A rotten egg or sulfur smell.
- A hissing or whistling noise near a gas appliance, gas line, or the gas meter.
- A white cloud or dust cloud near the gas line or gas meter.
- Bubbles in puddles of water near your home.
- Damage or corrosion on a gas pipe.
- Dead houseplants, or decaying plants near a gas meter or gas line.
- A higher gas bill than normal.
- An orange or yellow gas flame or pilot light.
- Physical symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, headache, disorientation, irritation of the nose and throat, nosebleeds, trouble breathing, chest pain, reduced appetite, tinnitus, flu-like symptoms, or mood changes.
A broken or leaking sewer line can lead to a sewer system backup. Call us right away for sewer line repair and replacements if you notice any of these plumbing problems:
- More than one clogged drain.
- A clogged drain and a clogged toilet.
- Dirty water or sewage backing up into your toilet, sink, bathtub, or shower.
- Sewage odors or a rotten food smell near drains.
- Plumbing fixtures that behave strangely when using other plumbing fixtures.
- Pools of marshy water in your yard.
