Signs of a Gas Leak
Recognizing potential gas leaks quickly can prevent dangerous situations in your Sacramento home. Natural gas is naturally odorless, but utility companies add a distinctive sulfur or “rotten egg” smell specifically to help detect leaks. Beyond this unmistakable odor, watch for these additional warning signs:
- Dead or discolored vegetation near gas line areas in your yard
- Unusual bubbling in standing water around your property
- Distinct hissing, whistling, or roaring sounds near gas lines or appliances
- Visible dust or debris blowing from soil around gas line areas
- Higher than normal gas bills without increased usage
- Physical symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nausea, or fatigue when at home
- Gas appliances with flames that appear yellow or orange instead of blue
- Difficulty lighting gas appliances or pilot lights that frequently go out
If you notice any of these warning signs in your Sacramento home, evacuate immediately, then call emergency services and Armstrong Plumbing for professional assistance. Quick action protects both your family and property from the serious consequences of gas leaks.

The Hazards of a Gas Leak
Gas leaks present serious dangers requiring immediate professional attention. The primary concern is carbon monoxide—an invisible, odorless gas that can cause severe health issues or even death when inhaled.
Carbon monoxide enters homes through various sources beyond gas leaks, including:
- Improperly vented appliances like water heaters and furnaces
- Blocked chimney flues preventing proper ventilation
- Poorly maintained gas appliances with incomplete combustion
- Running vehicles in attached garages with inadequate separation
- Misused portable generators or fuel-burning heaters
Early symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure include headaches, dizziness, confusion, and flu-like symptoms that improve when away from home. Prolonged exposure can lead to unconsciousness or death without warning.
For comprehensive protection, Armstrong Plumbing strongly recommends installing carbon monoxide detectors throughout your Sacramento home. These devices provide early warning of elevated carbon monoxide levels, potentially saving lives by alerting you to problems before they become dangerous. We can install hardwired or battery-operated detectors in optimal locations throughout your home.
Call (916) 641-0886Gas Line Inspections
Regular gas line inspections are essential preventative measures for Sacramento homeowners. Armstrong Plumbing’s certified technicians perform thorough evaluations of your entire gas system, identifying potential issues before they become dangerous emergencies. Our comprehensive inspections examine pipe conditions, connection points, appliance fittings, and pressure levels throughout your system. We check for code compliance, proper installation, and signs of deterioration that could lead to future problems. For Sacramento homes over 25 years old, we recommend annual gas inspections as older systems develop more maintenance needs with age. Our detailed reports help you prioritize any necessary repairs while providing documentation of your system’s condition.

The main sign is the added “rotten egg” smell. Other clues: dying plants near gas lines, hissing sounds, bubbling water, headaches/nausea at home, or higher gas bills. If you suspect a leak, leave immediately, call emergency services from outside, then contact Armstrong Plumbing after it’s safe. Never try to fix leaks yourself.
Only licensed plumbing contractors with gas line certification should handle your gas system. Armstrong Plumbing’s technicians are licensed by the California Contractors State License Board and have specialized training. We have insurance and follow the California Plumbing Code and Sacramento rules. Using unlicensed individuals is risky, and your insurance might not cover issues from their work.
For Sacramento homes over 15 years, annual inspections are recommended; for newer homes, every two years. More frequent checks are wise for older steel pipes or homes with foundation settling. Inspections check for wear, proper pressure, secure connections, and code compliance, catching small problems early. Armstrong Plumbing offers scheduled programs and documentation, which may qualify for insurance discounts.
Sacramento homes often have black iron/steel pipes (older, durable but prone to rust), CSST (since the 90s, flexible, earthquake-resistant), or PE (underground exterior with metal inside). Armstrong Plumbing can assess your system and suggest suitable materials for repairs or replacements, ensuring they meet current Sacramento building codes.
New gas line costs in Sacramento typically range from $425-$2125, depending on distance, access, materials, connected appliances, and if walls/floors need opening. Complex jobs like outdoor kitchens cost more due to trenching. Armstrong Plumbing gives detailed, clear estimates after assessing your needs, with flexible scheduling and code compliance.
If you detect the distinctive rotten egg odor of natural gas in your Sacramento home:
1) Don’t use any electrical switches, phones, or create any sparks or flames;
2) Immediately evacuate everyone from the property;
3) Once outside, call 911 and your gas utility from a neighbor’s home or cell phone;
4) Don’t return until authorities declare it safe;
5) Contact Armstrong Plumbing for professional repairs once the immediate danger has passed.
Never attempt to locate or repair gas leaks yourself, as improper handling can create explosion risks or carbon monoxide exposure.
