Noticing a Gas Leak 

If you are noticing irregular smells like rotten eggs or sulfur-like odors around the house, then there is a good chance you may have a gas leak. Other indicators of a leak are dying vegetation near valves or lines, strange noises from gas appliances, or open flames.

Keep in mind that natural gas is incredibly flammable as well as being dangerous to breathe in, so if you believe that your air supply is affected it is important to leave the infected air supply and contact professionals immediately. Informing nearby neighbors of the leak in addition to your gas company are some of your first priorities once outside of the home. Do not turn on light switches, start your car, or use electrical devices as these could set off an explosion.
