Warning Signs of a Gas Leak in Your Home

Rotten Egg or Sulfur Smell

Natural gas is odourless, but utility companies add a chemical called mercaptan to give it a strong, distinctive smell, similar to rotten eggs, to help detect leaks easily.

Hissing or Whistling Sounds

If you hear a hissing or whistling noise near your gas lines, it could mean gas is escaping from a crack or hole in the line.

Dead or Dying Vegetation

Unexplained plant death or discolored patches of grass near gas pipelines could indicate a leak beneath the surface.

Sudden Increase in Gas Bills

If your gas usage hasn’t changed but your bill has spiked, a leak might be wasting gas and money.

Physical Symptoms Indoors

Gas leaks can affect your health. If you or others in your home experience headaches, dizziness, nausea, or fatigue, especially when inside, it could be a sign of gas exposure.

Malfunctioning Gas Appliances

Gas stoves, heaters, or hot water systems not working properly or with a weak flame may be warning you of a problem with your gas supply.

Pilot lights repeatedly going out

on boilers, ovens, or heating systems

Why Gas Leaks Happen

Gas leaks can happen for several reasons, especially when gas lines, fittings, or appliances become old, damaged, or poorly installed. Common causes include:

  • Damaged or ageing gas pipes – Over time, gas pipes can corrode, crack, or weaken, especially in older properties.
  • Loose or faulty fittings – Connections around gas appliances, meters, valves, or pipe joints can loosen and allow gas to escape.
  • Poor installation – Incorrectly installed gas lines, cooktops, heaters, or hot water systems can create hidden leak risks.
  • Appliance faults – Gas heaters, ovens, stoves, and hot water systems can leak if parts become worn, damaged, or poorly maintained.
  • Accidental damage – Renovations, digging, drilling, or construction work can damage underground or wall-hidden gas lines.
  • Lack of regular maintenance –  Without routine checks, small issues can go unnoticed until they become serious leaks.
