Safety Before Diagnosis
Gas Leak Detection Done in the Right Order
People out first. Instruments second. Repairs only after the leak is pinpointed and you've approved the fix.
The rotten-egg smell in natural gas is added on purpose so you notice it — and the right response is always the same: get everyone out, leave switches and phones alone until you're outside, and call from the yard. A person answers our phone 24/7, and a suspected gas leak goes to the front of the line.
On site, we work with instruments instead of hunches. An electronic sniffer traces the gas to its source joint by joint, and a pressure-drop test on the isolated piping confirms exactly which section is losing gas. You get a straight answer about what's leaking, what's safe, and what the repair costs — before anything is opened or replaced.

Gas Warning Signals
Signs of a Gas Leak Reidsville Homeowners Shouldn't Ignore
Any one of these earns a call from outside the house — not an investigation of your own.
-
Rotten-Egg Odor Indoors
The added mercaptan smell is your first detector. Leave the house, then call us.
-
Hissing Near Gas Piping
Escaping gas at a fitting or valve makes a hiss you'll hear best in a quiet room.
-
Dead Grass Along a Buried Line
A yellowing stripe over the run to a generator or grill points to an underground leak.
-
Gas Bill Creeping Up
A slow leak burns money around the clock even when it's too small to smell.
-
Pilot Lights That Keep Dying
Starved or unsteady flames can mean pressure loss from a leak somewhere in the system.
Instruments, Not Hunches
How We Pinpoint a Gas Leak
A safety-first sequence that ends with a gauge proving the system tight again.
-
Secure the Scene
Gas off at the meter if needed, house ventilated, and everyone kept safely clear.
-
Sniff Every Joint
The electronic detector traces concentration fitting by fitting toward the source.
-
Confirm With Pressure Drop
Isolated sections go on a gauge — the section that can't hold pressure is the leak.
-
Repair and Retest
The fix goes in, the whole system holds test pressure, and only then does gas flow again.

Gas Safety Questions
Gas Leak Detection FAQs
Leave first — don't flip switches, don't unplug anything, don't start the car in an attached garage. Get everyone outside, then call from the yard or a neighbor's. If the odor is strong, call 911 and your gas supplier too. Finding the leak is our job, not yours.
