How to Tell You Have a Gas Leak
A gas leak isn’t always obvious, but your senses can pick up on a few key clues. Here’s what to watch for.
- Rotten egg smell
- Hissing sound near lines
- Dead or dying plants
- White cloud or mist
- Bubbles in standing water
- Higher-than-normal gas bills
- Dizziness or nausea indoors
If you notice any of these signs, leave the area immediately and call for help. Do not turn on lights, use your phone inside, or light anything until you’re safely away from the building. We offer 24/7 emergency service, so help is available any time you need it.

Our Gas Leak Detection and Repair Process
When you call Salt Air for a suspected gas leak, safety is our first priority. Our technicians arrive equipped with specialized detection tools that pinpoint the exact source of the leak, whether it’s coming from a line, connection, or appliance.
Once we’ve located the leak, we explain what we found and give you a clear picture of what the repair will involve. We believe in upfront pricing and honest communication, so you’ll know what to expect before any work begins.
From there, our technician makes the necessary repair and tests the line thoroughly to confirm the leak is fully resolved and your system is safe to use again. We won’t consider the job done until we’re confident your home or business is secure.
What Typically Causes Gas Leaks
Gas leaks can develop for a number of reasons, and knowing the common causes can help you stay ahead of potential problems. Aging or corroded pipes are one of the most frequent culprits, especially in older homes that haven’t had their gas lines inspected in years.
Wilmington’s humidity and salt air can contribute to corrosion on metal fittings and connections over time, which is something homeowners in coastal areas need to keep in mind. Loose connections, damaged appliance valves, and improper installation are other common sources of leaks.
Ground shifting, tree root intrusion, and accidental damage during digging or landscaping can also cause leaks in underground lines. Routine inspections help catch these issues early, often before they become dangerous.
