Gas lines provide efficient energy for heating, cooking, and hot water in Kamloops homes. Understanding gas line safety is crucial for protecting your family and property.

Critical Safety Signs to Watch For

Smell

Natural gas has a distinctive "rotten egg" smell. If you detect this odor inside or outside your home, take immediate action.

Sound

Hissing sounds near gas appliances or meters may indicate a leak.

Sight

Dead vegetation near gas lines, dirt or dust blowing from underground, or white/dusty mist near gas lines are warning signs.

What to Do If You Suspect a Gas Leak

1. Leave the area immediately
2. Don't use electrical switches, phones, or create sparks
3. Call your gas company from a safe location
4. Don't return until professionals declare it safe
