Warning Signs of a Gas Leak
Knowing what to look for can help you act fast and protect your household.
- A rotten-egg or sulfur-like odor near appliances, meters, or gas lines.
- A hissing or whistling sound from gas pipes or connections.
- Dead or yellowing vegetation in an otherwise healthy area of your yard.
- Bubbling in standing water near buried gas lines.
- Dizziness, nausea, or headaches indoors.
Natural gas itself is odorless, so utility providers add mercaptan, giving it a distinct rotten-egg smell that makes leaks easier to detect. If you notice any of these signs in Alvin, TX, or surrounding Brazoria County communities, treat it as an emergency and call for gas leak repair right away.
What to Do If You Smell Gas
Leave the building immediately. Do not flip switches, use your phone indoors, or try to locate the source yourself.
- Evacuate everyone from the building right away.
- Leave doors open as you exit to help ventilate the space.
- Avoid electrical switches, open flames, or vehicles near the leak.
- Call your gas utility from a safe distance to shut off supply.
