Signs of a Gas Leak - And What You Need to Do
If you suspect, “Do I have a gas leak?”, it’s critical to act quickly. Natural gas leaks are a serious safety hazard that can cause fires, explosions, or health issues. Need help detecting a leak? Rub-A-Dub Plumbing specializes in gas leak detection in Tyler, TX and the surrounding areas.
Here’s how to spot a gas leak early and stay safe until professionals arrive.
Step 1: Report the Leak to CenterPoint Immediately
If you smell gas or suspect a leak:
- Leave the building immediately, on foot.
- Do not use any electrical devices or open flames near the area.
- Call your local gas utility, CenterPoint Energy at 903-206-4256 (or 911 in emergencies).
- CenterPoint will inspect and shut off the gas supply if needed but will not perform repairs inside your property.
Step 2: Know the Common Signs of a Gas Leak
Look, listen, and smell for these warning signs near your home or business:
Smell: Strong rotten egg or sulfur-like odor (added to natural gas for safety).
Sound: Hissing, whistling, or roaring noises near gas lines or appliances.
Sight:
- Pilot lights burning yellow or orange instead of blue.
- Bubbling in standing water near gas pipes.
- Dead or discolored plants around pipelines.
- White clouds, mist, frost, or unexplained frozen ground.

- Fatigue
- Eye, nose, or throat irritation
- Difficulty breathing
If you or anyone in your home experiences these symptoms:
