What To Do If You Smell Gas Or Suspect a Leak

If you think you have a gas leak, your first priority is safety. Do not try to find or repair the problem on your own. In many cases, simple steps taken right away can reduce risk while you wait for help or for the utility to respond.

Follow these general safety guidelines if you suspect a gas leak:

• Leave the area immediately if you smell a strong odor of gas, feel dizzy or lightheaded, or hear a hissing sound near gas piping or appliances.
• Avoid using matches, lighters, candles, or anything that could create a spark, including cigarettes.
• Do not turn lights or electrical switches on or off, and do not use phones inside the building, since switches and electronics can create small sparks.
• Once you are at a safe distance, contact your gas utility or local emergency services to report the suspected leak and follow their instructions.
• After the immediate danger is addressed and the utility has made the area safe, contact our team so we can inspect the gas line and recommend necessary repairs.

Common Gas Line Issues We Help Resolve

Gas line problems can appear in many different ways, from a faint odor near an appliance to a full utility shutdown. Understanding some of the common issues we see can help you connect what you are experiencing with possible causes and next steps.

Some of the gas line issues our team frequently addresses include:

• Leaking appliance connections. Flexible connectors and fittings behind stoves, dryers, fireplaces, and water heaters can wear out over time or be disturbed during cleaning, remodeling, or appliance replacement.
• Aging or corroded piping. Older homes in Olympia and the surrounding area sometimes have gas piping that has been in place for decades. Corrosion, settling, or previous repairs can create weak points that eventually leak.
• Underground line damage. Yard work, fence posts, landscaping projects, or other digging can occasionally damage shallow gas lines feeding a house, garage, or outbuilding. This type of damage can be difficult for a property owner to locate without proper testing.
• Appliance or equipment changes. Adding a gas range, outdoor grill line, shop heater, or new furnace can reveal that existing piping is not routed or sized correctly for current needs, which may require adjustments or new sections of line.
• Utility red tags or shutoffs. In some cases, the gas utility inspects a property, finds a hazard, and tags the meter or shuts off service until repairs are completed and approved.

In each of these situations, our role is to identify the source of the issue, determine the most practical repair or replacement path, and help you move toward safe, reliable use of your gas appliances again. Because we work across residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems, we are familiar with a wide range of layouts and equipment, from single-family homes to small restaurants and offices that rely on gas-fired equipment every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do right now if I smell gas in my home?

If you smell a strong odor of gas in your home, leave the building immediately and get to a safe location. Avoid using anything that could cause a spark, such as light switches, matches, or lighters, and do not try to find the source of the leak yourself. Once you are safely outside and away from the building, contact your gas utility or local emergency services to report the suspected leak and follow their instructions. After the utility and responders have made the situation safe, you can contact our team so we can inspect your gas lines and appliances, identify what went wrong, and recommend repairs. Safety comes first, and our goal is to support you once the immediate danger has been addressed.

Can your team handle both natural gas and propane lines?

Yes, our plumbers work on systems that use both natural gas and propane in homes and small commercial properties. In this area, many properties are supplied by natural gas from the utility, while some rural or specific sites rely on propane tanks and separate piping. The piping materials and fittings can be similar, but how the systems are set up and regulated may differ. When you contact us, we ask a few questions about your fuel source, appliances, and property so we can bring the right approach and equipment. Our goal is always to handle your particular system safely and in line with applicable codes.

How do you figure out where a gas leak is coming from?

We typically locate gas leaks by combining what you have observed with our inspection and testing methods. Our plumbers start by listening to your description of smells, sounds, or utility notices and then visually checking exposed piping, appliances, and fittings. Depending on the situation, we may use testing procedures to isolate sections of the system and narrow down where gas is escaping. Once we have enough information, we identify the likely source, such as a fitting, appliance connector, or pipe section. We then explain what we found in straightforward terms, outline repair options, and let you know what the next steps would look like so there are no surprises.

Will you work with my gas utility or the city if permits are needed?

Many gas line repairs are straightforward and focus on customer-owned piping and appliances, while others may involve permitting and inspection, especially if lines are being replaced or rerouted. In those situations, our team follows the local requirements that apply in Olympia and the surrounding area so the work can be reviewed and approved as needed. The specific role of the utility and city can depend on where the issue is located and how extensive the repair is. We explain how these pieces fit together for your particular project and help you understand what to expect from utilities and inspectors as your system moves toward safe reactivation.

How much does gas line repair usually cost?

The cost of gas line repair can vary, because it depends on factors such as where the problem is located, how accessible the piping is, how much material needs to be replaced, and whether walls, floors, or landscaping must be opened to reach the line. A small repair at a single appliance connection typically involves less work than replacing a long section of underground pipe or rerouting multiple branches. When we arrive at your property, we assess the situation and talk through what we find before work begins. Our team focuses on clear, upfront communication about the scope of work and the factors affecting cost, so you can make informed decisions without guessing.

Can you help if my gas was shut off because of a suspected leak?

Yes, we often assist property owners after the gas utility has shut off service due to a suspected or confirmed leak. In these cases, the utility usually identifies that there is a hazard somewhere on the customer side of the system and requires repairs before turning gas back on. Our role is to inspect your piping and appliances, find the source of the issue, and make the necessary repairs so the system can be checked again. The exact steps to restore service can depend on utility policies and local inspection procedures, and we explain how that process generally works here so you know what to expect.

How quickly can you come out for a gas line issue?

We understand that gas concerns feel urgent, and we work to respond promptly when you contact us about a suspected gas line problem. The timing of a visit can depend on factors such as the time of day, current workload, and whether emergency services and the utility are already involved. When you call, we let you know our current availability and discuss the nature of the issue so we can prioritize appropriately. Our goal is to minimize downtime and help you move from worry toward a clear plan as quickly as we reasonably can, while still performing careful, thorough work.
