What signs should I look out for that suggest a gas leak?
A noticeable gas odour, hissing sounds near gas lines, increased gas bills without a change in usage, dying vegetation near gas pipes, and any symptoms of physical discomfort such as headaches or nausea when gas appliances are in use, could indicate a leak.
Is a gas leak always detectable by smell?
No, not every gas leak is detectable by smell. Some leaks can be small or masked by other odours. Therefore, regular professional inspections and detectors are critical in identifying such potentially dangerous leaks.
