I had a gas leak before it got to the meter, it was just a couple of inches below ground but one could definitely tell it was a gas leak. Center Point had to fix it on their dime, not mine! They were pretty fast when I told them I had a leak and where it was coming from. They re-lit the pilot for the water heater too. 4951

@SarcasmWins :
Makes sense; the gas is only dangerous if contained. An open gas line can only cause a fire outside. In the house is a different story sine it can accumulate and then find a spark.
 
The first things I do when moving to a new house are 1) figure out how to turn off main electric, 2) how to turn off main gas, and 3) how to turn off water to house and at meter 4951

ExBlue : We seriously need an eyeroll emoji added to the bottom of posts.
 
@WskyTngoFxtrt :
 
There are several emojis that we need but they are not there. I found an emoji cheat sheet, but don't know if the codes would work on here. sheet.shiar.nl/emoji 4951

It could be from a gas lamp in the front or back. Does a neighbor have one? 4951

Since natural gas is odorless, a smelly chemical is added so we can smell it. The added compound has the smell of sulfur or rotten eggs. A lot of things naturally contain the same compound, even human and animal blood and even animal poop as well as sewer gas. If you're outside and smell it then most likely it's not a natural gas leak you're smelling 4951

In its native state, natural gas is odorless, colorless and tasteless. Mercaptan, the harmless chemical that is added to natural gas, contains sulfur, which makes it smell. Many people describe the odor of mercaptan as similar to rotten eggs. 4951
