What To Do If You Suspect A Gas Leak
-
Make sure to open your doors and windows to make sure any pilot lights in your home are turned off. This is likely an obvious move but in a panic, you may forget this step.

Don't try to find the leak. Staying in the home and inspecting your lines for a potential leak further exposes you to additional inhalation of the gas itself and increases your change of being in a dangerous accident
-
Make sure to leave the room immediately and exit your home if you even remotely suspect the leak is anything but mine and recent.
-
Don't Turn on switch lights or use household appliances. Certainly, don't light a cigarette or candle in the home. You do not want to create a spark or flame of any kind around a gas leak.
-
Once you are in a safe place, Call the case company immediately
-
Don't assume your neighbours will call if you smell a gas leak outside your home. Make sure to report the leak immediately. Leaks that occur outside of your home can be just as dangerous
