Signs of a Gas Leak
Natural gas is odorless, but utilities add mercaptan—a sulfur compound that smells like rotten eggs—so you can detect leaks. Warning signs include:
- Rotten egg or sulfur smell
- Hissing or whistling sounds near gas lines or appliances
- Dead vegetation in an otherwise healthy yard
- Physical symptoms — headaches, dizziness, nausea when indoors
If you smell gas strongly: Don’t flip switches or use phones inside. Leave immediately and call 911 or National Grid (1-800-233-5325). Once cleared, call us for repairs.
Outdoor Gas Line Installation
Outdoor gas installations require proper burial depth (18 inches minimum in Massachusetts), weather-rated materials, and code-compliant shutoff valves. We handle permits and inspections with local building departments in Beverly, Peabody, Lynn, and throughout Essex, Middlesex, and Suffolk counties.
