Noticeable Odor

Gas line repair becomes necessary in an emergency plumbing situation where you notice a strong rotten egg smell in your home. This is caused by a chemical called mercaptan that’s added to odorless natural gas, this characteristic smell suggests a gas line is leaking and needs to be repaired.

Hissing Noises
