How do I know if I have a gas leak?
A rotten-egg smell is the most common sign. Other signs are a hissing sound near a gas line or appliance, dead patches of grass over a buried line, bubbles in standing water outdoors, and headaches or dizziness indoors that fade when you step outside. If you notice any of these, treat it as an emergency.
- A strong smell of rotten eggs or sulfur
- A hissing or whistling sound near gas pipes
- A gas stove flame that burns yellow or orange instead of blue
- Dead plants or bare ground along a yard line
- Headache, nausea or dizziness that eases outdoors
A carbon monoxide alarm is not a gas leak alarm. It warns about a different danger, so don’t rely on it to find a leak. If you suspect a leak but the smell is faint or gone, a plumber can use gas leak detection to check. If the smell is strong, follow the steps above and get the emergency gas leak repair started once you are safe.
When should I call right away, and when can I book a visit?

How much does gas leak repair cost in Lombard?
The price depends on where the leak is, how much pipe is damaged, how hard the pipe is to reach, and whether a permit or inspection is needed. A loose fitting costs less than a buried line that needs digging. Ask the plumber for a clear price before work starts.
- Leak location: an exposed fitting is quicker than a pipe in a wall or under a slab.
- Pipe type and age: older steel pipe may need more work than newer pipe.
- Parts: valves, connectors and fittings add to the cost.
- Time of day: emergency calls at night may cost more.
- Permits and tests: many gas jobs end with a pressure test or inspection.
Where do gas leaks usually start?
Most leaks start at a weak spot: a joint, a connector or an old valve. Many homes here are decades old, so worn parts are common, and cold Illinois winters can stress buried pipe and outdoor fittings.
- Worn flexible connectors behind stoves and dryers
- Loose or corroded fittings on older pipe
- Stuck or leaking gas valves
- Lines hit during digging, fence work or landscaping
- Poor hookups after a new appliance install
Shops and restaurants face the same risks on a bigger scale. If you run a business, see our commercial gas line services.

Gas leak repair questions we hear most
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the building right away and take everyone with you. Don’t use light switches, lighters or phones inside. Once you are outside and away from the home, call 911 and your gas utility’s emergency line. When it is safe, call LeakSecure to get a plumber for the repair.
Is a gas leak an emergency?
Yes. Natural gas can catch fire or explode, and it can make people sick. Treat any strong gas smell, hissing sound or sudden dizziness at home as an emergency until a trained person says it is safe.
Can I fix a gas leak myself?
No. Gas work needs special tools, testing and training, and it often needs a permit. Never wrap, tape or tighten a leaking gas pipe yourself. Leave the repair to a qualified, licensed plumber.
How do plumbers find a gas leak?
A plumber uses an electronic gas detector, a soapy water test on fittings and a pressure test on the line. These steps show where gas is escaping, even when the leak is small or hidden behind a wall.
Is LeakSecure the plumbing company?
No. LeakSecure is a referral service. We connect you with independent local plumbers. The plumber you speak with does the work and gives you the price.
Do you help businesses as well as homes?
Yes. Call about gas leaks, gas line repairs, new lines and inspections for shops, restaurants, offices and other commercial buildings in Lombard and nearby towns.
Can I call at night or on weekends?
Yes. Our phone line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays.
