    • 1). Be aware of smells. Although odorless, a chemical is added to natural gas so it can be detected. An indoor gas leak can smell like rotten eggs. Many gas companies give customers a scent card with a scratch-and-sniff flame. Request one from your natural gas provider so you can recognize the distinctive gas odor.

    • 2). Listen for sounds. Strange noises coming from your gas equipment can indicate an indoor gas leak. A hissing or high-pitched sound like a whistle have been described in outdoor gas leak cases.

    • 3). Be aware of your environment. Be alert to dirt blowing in the air, which is indicative of a possible outdoor gas leak. If you spot bubbles coming from a wet area on the ground, this is another sign of a potential gas leak. If you are aware of the gas line location and notice discolored or dead vegetation nearby, this could also mean gas is leaking.
