Strong Gas Smell? Safety Steps First
A strong rotten egg smell is an emergency. Do these things in order.
- Leave right away. Get everyone, including pets, out of the house.
- Leave switches alone. Do not turn lights, fans or appliances on or off.
- Skip phones inside. Make calls once you are outside and away from the house.
- Call 911 and your gas company. Do this from a safe distance.
- Stay out. Do not go back in until responders say it is safe.
Once the gas company has made the home safe, we can test the lines and help with repairs.
What a Gas Line Test Includes
Electronic Sniffer Scan
A handheld sensor picks up tiny amounts of gas around pipes, valves and fittings.
Soap Test on Fittings
A soap solution bubbles where gas escapes, which confirms the exact spot.
Pressure Test
For remodels and new lines, a gas pressure test Spanish Fork homes need shows if the system holds over time.
Appliance Connector Check
Flex connectors on ranges, dryers, water heaters and furnaces get a close look.
Marked Leaks and Options
You get the marked spots, photos and a price for each repair.
Why Gas Leaks Come Up in Local Homes
- Gas runs most appliances. Many homes here use natural gas for furnaces, water heaters and ranges, so there are lots of fittings.
- Appliances get moved. Sliding a range or dryer can kink or loosen an old flex connector.
- Remodels add new joints. Every new gas line or appliance adds fittings that should be tested.
- Old connectors wear out. Some older flex connectors were not built to last and can crack with age.
How Our Gas Leak Check Runs
Safety comes first on every visit.
- Talk through what you smelled and where.
- Scan with an electronic sniffer.
- Soap test each suspect fitting.
- Pressure test the system when needed.
- Mark every leak and take photos.
- Repair or replace connectors and fittings.
- Test again before you use the appliances.
Warning Signs of a Small Gas Leak
These clues call for a test. A strong smell calls for leaving the house first.
- Faint gas smell near an appliance. A light rotten egg odor near the range, dryer or water heater often comes from a loose fitting or a worn connector behind the appliance.
- Hissing near the meter. A soft hiss or whistle around the meter or the pipe entering the house can mean gas is escaping. Stay back and call your gas company first.
- Dead plants over a gas line. A strip of brown grass or dying plants along a buried gas line can point to gas leaking into the soil and starving the roots.
- After a remodel or new appliance install. New fittings and lines should be tested before regular use. A small leak at a fresh joint is easy to miss without a test.

Gas Safety Habits Worth Keeping
A few simple habits lower the risk of a gas leak going unnoticed.
- Know the smell. Gas companies add a rotten egg odor so leaks are easy to notice. Teach everyone in the house what it smells like.
- Install CO alarms. Carbon monoxide alarms near bedrooms and gas appliances warn you about burning problems you can't smell.
- Leave space behind appliances. Pushing a dryer or range tight to the wall can kink the connector.
- Service yearly. Have the furnace and water heater checked before winter.
- Call before you dig. Blue Stakes marks buried gas lines before any yard project.
After the Test and Repair
- Every fixed spot is tested again before you use the appliance.
- You get photos of what we found and what we changed.
- Old flex connectors we replace are shown to you before they go.
- Any gas line repair Spanish Fork homes need comes with a written price first.
Gas Problems We Handle Often
- The dryer connector. A dryer pushed back too far kinked an old flex line, and the laundry room smelled faintly of gas.
- The new range install. A fitting on a new range was snug but not sealed, and the soap test caught it.
- The water heater swap. A replacement heater left one union loose, which the sniffer picked up on the first pass.
