Although gas leaks are uncommon, you need to be able to recognize them. Some signs are obvious, some are not. Here are the signs to look for when you suspect a leak:
- Gas odor (smells like rotten eggs or sulfur)
- Water bubbling or being blown into the air at a pond, creek or river
- Fire coming from the ground or burning above the ground
- Brown patches in vegetation on or near a gas line
- Dry spot in moist earth
