What To Do If You Suspect a Gas Leak?
A gas leak is a life-threatening emergency. Do not wait to confirm it, act immediately! Here’s what to do:
1. Leave the building immediately
Do not stop to collect belongings. Get everyone — including pets — out of the building as fast as possible.
2. Do not use any electrical switches or devices
Do not turn lights on or off, use your phone inside the building, or operate any appliances. A single spark can ignite accumulated gas.
3. Do not use open flames
No matches, lighters, or candles — even outside the building if you can still smell gas.
4. Shut off the gas supply if it is safe to do so
The gas shutoff valve is typically located next to your meter. Turn it perpendicular to the pipe to close. Only do this if you can reach it without entering a gas-filled area.
5. Call 911 from outside the building
Emergency services should be your first call once you are at a safe distance.
6. Call your gas company
Report the leak to your gas utility provider immediately.
7. Call (508) 500-1547 for emergency plumbing response
Once the immediate danger is controlled, contact us for professional gas leak detection, pipe inspection, and repair across MetroWest.
Why Gas Leaks Are Extremely Dangerous?
Gas leaks are silent threats. Natural gas is colorless and nearly odorless in its natural state — the distinctive rotten egg smell is added artificially as a safety measure. By the time you notice the odor, gas may have already accumulated to dangerous levels.
Undetected or unresolved gas leaks can lead to:
Explosion risk — Accumulated gas can ignite from a single spark, causing structural destruction and severe injury
Fire hazard — Gas leaks near appliances or electrical systems dramatically increase fire risk
Carbon monoxide poisoning — Incomplete combustion from a compromised gas line produces odorless, deadly CO
Health symptoms — Even low-level exposure causes headaches, dizziness, nausea, and breathing difficulties
Structural damage — Prolonged leaks can corrode pipes, fittings, and surrounding building materials
The faster a gas leak is identified and isolated, the less risk to your family, your property, and your neighbors. Our licensed professionals across MetroWest respond immediately — 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
What Causes Gas Leaks in Massachusetts Homes?
Fast, professional plumbing solutions for homes and businesses across MetroWest.
Older homes across MetroWest — particularly those built before the 1980s — often have aging gas lines that corrode over time. Rust and pipe deterioration create micro-fractures that allow gas to escape slowly but dangerously.
Gas appliances including water heaters, stoves, furnaces, and dryers can develop leaks at connection points, especially after wear and tear or following DIY installation attempts.
New England soil movement — even minor ground shifts from frost heave common in Massachusetts winters — can stress underground gas lines and cause hairline fractures.
Roots penetrate underground pipes seeking water. As roots grow, they crack pipes and eventually cause complete failures.

What does a gas leak smell like?
Natural gas is treated with mercaptan, a chemical that produces a distinctive rotten egg or sulfur smell. If you notice this odor anywhere in or around your home, treat it as a gas leak immediately.
Can I stay in my home if I suspect a gas leak?
No. Leave immediately and do not re-enter until emergency services and a licensed plumber have confirmed the area is safe. Do not assume the smell will go away on its own.
How do plumbers detect gas leaks?
Licensed plumbers use professional-grade gas detectors and pressure testing equipment to locate leaks precisely — including leaks inside walls, under floors, and in underground supply lines — without unnecessary demolition.
How long does gas leak detection take?
Most residential gas leak inspections can be completed within 1-2 hours. Complex cases involving underground lines or multiple leak points may take longer.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover a gas leak repair?
Coverage varies by policy. Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental gas leaks. We recommend documenting everything and contacting your insurer as soon as the emergency is resolved.
What causes gas leaks in older MetroWest homes?
Older homes in Framingham, Natick, and Newton commonly have aging iron or steel gas pipes that corrode over decades. Frost heave from Massachusetts winters also stresses underground lines. Regular inspection is the best prevention.
