Unlike most plumbing issues, a gas leak isn't something to schedule around. Natural gas is flammable, and any spark — a light switch, an appliance motor kicking on, even static electricity — can ignite it. At high enough concentrations in an enclosed space, it's also an asphyxiation hazard. This is why the standard advice is always to leave first and ask questions later.
Don't flip light switches, don't use your phone inside, don't start your car in an attached garage — any spark is a risk. Get everyone, including pets, out and to a safe distance.
Once you're safely away from the house, call us at (727) 966-7729 — we answer 24/7 and treat every gas call as a priority. If you're concerned about immediate danger — a strong smell, or the sound of hissing gas — call 911 first.
Wait until we've confirmed it's safe. If you know where your gas shutoff valve is and can reach it from outside without re-entering a gas-filled space, that can help, but don't take unnecessary risks to reach it.
Common causes include a corroded fitting, a damaged line (sometimes from yard work), a failing appliance connection, or aging pipe. Read more about our gas line repair process for what happens once we arrive.
We use gas detection equipment to pinpoint the exact source, make the repair, and pressure-test the entire system before clearing the home as safe — not just the section we repaired.
Routine gas line inspection during other plumbing service, prompt attention to any appliance connection issues, and care around buried gas lines during yard work all reduce the risk of a future leak.
