What Are the Warning Signs of a Gas Leak?
The most noticeable sign of a gas leak is the strong odour of sulphur or rotten eggs. Other red flags include a hissing sound near gas lines, unexplained dying plants indoors, unusually high gas bills, and physical symptoms like dizziness or headaches. If you notice any of these, act immediately.
What Symptoms Indicate Natural Gas Exposure?
Natural gas exposure can cause serious health issues. Common symptoms include persistent headaches, ringing in the ears, nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, fatigue, and nosebleeds. In severe cases, skin may appear pale or blistered. If you suspect gas poisoning, leave the area and seek medical attention immediately—it can be life-threatening.
What Steps Should I Take If I Suspect a Gas Leak?
If you think there’s a gas leak in your home, evacuate everyone, including pets, right away. Leave doors and windows open to ventilate the area. Do not switch on lights, use electrical devices, or make calls inside the home as this could trigger an explosion. Once you’re at a safe distance, call your gas utility provider to shut off the supply, and then contact Hassle Free for professional leak detection and repair.

After the gas has been shut off by your utility provider, our team at Hassle Free uses advanced electronic detection equipment to locate leaks with precision.
