Common Signs of a Gas Leak
Gas leaks can sometimes be obvious, but in many cases, the warning signs are subtle. Contact American Leak Detection immediately if you notice any of the following:
- Smell of gas or a rotten egg odor
- Hissing or whistling sounds near a gas line or appliance
- Dead or dying grass, plants, or landscaping near an underground gas line
- Unexplained increase in gas usage
- Gas appliances that are not working properly
- Pilot lights that frequently go out
- A gas meter that continues moving when appliances are turned off
- A failed gas pressure test
What to Do if You Suspect an Active Gas Leak
Our technicians use specialized testing methods to help locate gas leaks safely and accurately. Depending on the property and gas system, our process may include:
-
Electronic leak detection equipment can identify the presence of gas near fittings, valves, appliances, walls, or underground lines. This helps narrow down the area where gas is escaping.
-
Pressure testing helps determine whether a gas line is holding pressure or losing pressure. By isolating sections of the system, technicians can identify which portion of the gas line requires further investigation.
-
Line tracing helps identify the path of gas lines, especially when underground piping locations are unknown. This can help reduce unnecessary excavation and guide repair planning.
-
Combustible gas detectors help identify gas concentrations in specific areas. This method can be useful for checking mechanical rooms, appliance areas, commercial kitchens, utility spaces, and other enclosed or semi-enclosed locations.

“I had an awful rotten egg smell as soon as I bought our house. After calling two plumbers (who charged me a fee to tell me nothing was wrong), the Gas Company (no gas leak), and the Public Works Department, I finally called American Leak Detection. They came in, investigated with smoke, and fixed the problem. For the first time in two months, my house doesn't smell like a restaurant toilet. Highly recommend them!”- Sandi T.

“I can't say enough good things about their service! We had a slab leak that flooded the master bedroom and they came as quickly as they could and then rearranged their work schedule so the repair could be made and we could once again have water turned on. The workmen were professional and efficient. I hope I never have to use that kind of service again but if so, they are he best.”- Carolyn R.

“Tree roots had cracked my filter pipes and I was losing water badly. I was referred to American Leak Detection and set up an appointment. Daniel came out and did his best to diagnose the problem. He got very strange results and it was hard to determine the exact pipe(s) that were cracked but since I'd had a similar repair done 6 years ago and we could see evidence of the tree root damage from above, I felt confident we knew were the issue was and I contracted for the work. I was pleasantly surprised to see Daniel return to perform the work. I arranged to be home that day so I could see what he found. I supposed I hovered, taking pictures of the process, asking questions as he went along. He never got annoyed and answered every question with a smile. I don't think i ever saw anyone work harder. It was obvious from that start he had a lot of experience and knew what he was doing. Digging out the area had to be done mostly by hand which he did efficiently without complaints. He found multiple pipes cracked which explained the odd results during diagnosis. The job took longer than expected because it was difficult work and he ran out of daylight but on the job until he it wasn't possible anymore that day. Even though he was fully booked for the following day, his company rearranged his schedule so he could return the following afternoon. I returned home early from work and was able to see him complete the job. He even patched the deck with new concrete like an artisan, taking every care to make it as smooth and neat as possible. After 30 years in this house, we have had many service people come to do work. No one has ever delivered better than Daniel. He was competent, diligent, and pleasant. The cost wasn't cheap but it was fair. I don't mind at all paying for quality service.”- String R.
