Do this first
If you smell gas right now
Natural gas is odourless on its own. The rotten egg smell is an additive put there specifically so you notice it. If you can smell it, treat it as real.
INSTALLATION METHOD A
Leave the building
Get everyone out, including pets. Open a door on the way out if it is directly on your path, but do not spend time opening windows throughout the house. Getting out matters more than ventilating.
STEP 02
Do not touch anything electrical
No light switches, no appliances, no garage door opener, no thermostat, and do not unplug anything. A switch contact makes a small spark, and that is the entire risk.
STEP 03
Call from outside, well away
Once you are outside and clear of the building, call your gas utility’s emergency line first, then call us. Do not use your phone inside the building.
STEP 03
What not to do, whatever anyone tells you
- Do not try to find the leak yourself
- Do not use a lighter, match, or any flame to check
- Do not turn appliances on or off to test them
- Do not re-enter to collect belongings
- Do not assume a faint smell is nothing
We will not ask you to troubleshoot a gas smell over the phone. If you are calling us about an active gas odour, the only thing we want to know is that you are outside.
Signs worth acting on
Warning signs of a gas problem
Not every gas issue announces itself with a strong smell. These are the quieter signals.
A faint or intermittent odour
Particularly near an appliance, a meter, or along an exterior wall where a line runs. Intermittent does not mean minor, it often means a small leak that varies with pressure.
Hissing near a line or appliance
A whistling or hissing sound near a gas connection, meter or appliance line. Leave and call rather than investigating.
Dead vegetation in a line
Grass or plants dying in a straight strip across the yard, with no obvious cause, can indicate an underground gas line leak.
Yellow or orange burner flame
A properly burning natural gas flame is blue. Persistent yellow or orange indicates incomplete combustion, which is a carbon monoxide concern as well as an efficiency one.
Soot around an appliance
Black staining around a burner, vent or appliance cabinet points at combustion or venting problems that need looking at promptly.
Unexplained symptoms indoors
Headaches, dizziness or nausea that improve when you leave the house are a reason to get out and get the system checked, not to push through.
Carbon monoxide is a separate risk. CO has no smell at all, which is why a detector on every level of the home matters. If a CO alarm sounds, treat it exactly like a gas smell: get everyone out, then call from outside.
Scheduled work
Gas line services we provide
Not everything gas-related is an emergency. Most of our gas work is planned installation and testing.
New gas line installation
Running new lines for ranges, dryers, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, grills, generators and pool heaters. Correctly sized for the appliance load rather than whatever pipe was convenient.
Gas line sizing for tankless
Tankless water heaters typically demand far more gas at peak than a storage tank. Many older homes need a larger line or a meter upgrade to support one. We check before you buy the unit.
Leak detection and testing
Pressure testing and electronic detection to locate a leak precisely rather than replacing pipe on a guess. Written results for your records or an insurer.
Appliance connections
Correct flexible connectors, shut-off valves at every appliance, and sediment traps where required. The details that fail inspections when they are skipped.
Corroded line replacement
Older black iron in damp basements and crawlspaces corrodes. We replace compromised runs rather than patching around them.
Permits and inspection
Gas work is permitted work in every jurisdiction we serve. We pull the permit, do the work to code, and meet the inspector.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about scheduling, service areas, or coverage? Read our quick answers below or call us directly at (301) 920-6922
Is a hissing sound near my gas meter always a sign of a leak?
Not always, but it’s one of the more reliable warning signs and shouldn’t be ignored. If you hear this along with a rotten egg smell nearby, it’s worth treating it as urgent and getting it checked right away. Our residential plumbing team can respond quickly to confirm what’s going on.
Do older homes in Laurel need gas line inspections more often?
Yes, aging gas infrastructure is more common in older Laurel homes and can develop small leaks or connection issues over time that newer systems typically don’t face. Regular inspections help catch this before it becomes a bigger safety concern. You can check our service areas page to see if your neighborhood falls within the older housing stock we service most often.
Can a faulty gas line affect my water heater's performance?
Yes, if your gas water heater has a pilot light that won’t stay lit or is producing a weak flame, the issue could be tied to gas supply rather than the unit itself. Our team checks both the gas line and the water heater together to figure out where the actual problem is coming from. This kind of overlap is common enough that it’s worth having both checked at once.
Do you inspect gas lines for restaurants and commercial kitchens?
Yes, commercial kitchens rely heavily on gas equipment, so aging infrastructure or a tenant reported odor gets treated as a priority. Our commercial plumbing team can also provide documentation needed for insurance or code compliance purposes. Regular inspections help avoid unexpected downtime during business hours.
Can I install a gas line myself for a new outdoor grill or fire pit?
This isn’t something that should be handled without a certified gas technician, since improper installation can create a serious safety hazard. Gas fitting work requires specific certification separate from general plumbing licensing. Our residential plumbing team handles these installations to code, whether it’s for a grill, fire pit, or other outdoor gas appliance.
