Gas Leak Repair in Mississippi
A gas leak is the one plumbing emergency where the first step is to leave. If you smell gas, do not look for the leak — get out, then call. As an emergency plumber in Mississippi, we repair gas lines around the clock. Call (662) 550-8213 from outside the house.
Signs of a gas leak
A rotten-egg or sulfur smell, a hissing sound near a gas line or appliance, dead plants in a line above a buried gas pipe, a dust cloud or bubbling puddle near a gas line, or physical symptoms — headache, dizziness, nausea, or drowsiness — when you are in the house. Any one of these is a reason to leave and call. Our gas leak guide for Mississippi covers the signs and symptoms in full.
What to do first — safety steps
Leave the house immediately if the smell is strong. Do not switch lights or appliances on or off, do not use a phone inside the house, do not light anything, and do not start a car in an attached garage. Call 911 or your gas utility's emergency line from outside if the smell is strong. For a faint smell, ventilate by opening doors and windows on your way out, turn off gas appliances only if it is safe to do so, and call from outside. The gas meter shut-off is outside the house — a plumber or the utility can show you where it is, but do not go back inside to find it.
How gas leak repair works
Once the area is safe, we test the gas lines to find the leak — usually with pressure testing and a soap solution that bubbles at the leak point. The damaged section of line is repaired or replaced, the system is pressure-tested again, and the gas is restored only when the test passes. Gas work is not a do-it-yourself job; it must be done by a professional with the right equipment.
