Welcome back to the Home Safety Spotlight, brought to you by My Georgia Plumber—your trusted plumbing and gas contractor serving families across Georgia.
Today, we’re talking about something that every homeowner and renter should know: how to recognize a gas leak and what to do if one happens in your home.
Gas leaks can be dangerous—and in many cases, people don’t realize there’s a problem until it’s too late. That’s why My Georgia Plumber just released a new, free guide that walks you through how to spot the signs of a gas leak and locate your gas shut-off valve in case of an emergency.
The guide is available on our website mygeorgiaplumber.com
So, what exactly should you look for?
Here are a few red flags:
That rotten egg smell? It’s not just unpleasant—it’s a key warning sign.
Hearing a hissing noise near your stove or gas line? That’s not normal.
Are your plants suddenly dying in one area of your yard? That might mean gas is leaking underground.
And if you or someone in your household is experiencing headaches, dizziness, or nausea—it could be a sign of gas exposure.
This guide not only explains these warning signs, it also shows you exactly how to find and turn off your gas supply.
Now, here's something a lot of people don’t know—your main gas shut-off valve is usually located near your gas meter, outside your home. The guide shows you how to recognize it and shut it off with a simple quarter turn using a wrench.
There’s also info on shut-off valves for individual appliances, like your water heater or gas stove—something that can come in handy in less severe situations.
And if you ever suspect a leak, the guide gives you clear steps for what to do next: Evacuate, avoid any sparks or flames, and call for help from a safe location.
My Georgia Plumber created this guide because they’ve seen firsthand how often people just don’t know what to do when a leak happens. And in an emergency, every second counts.
So if you’re a homeowner, a renter, a landlord, or someone who just wants to be prepared—head to the website and grab the free guide. It’s one of those things you’ll be glad you read before you need it.
