If something doesn’t feel right with your gas system, trust the experts at SoGood Plumbing Heating & Air to take action fast. We help Central Virginia homeowners identify potential gas line issues early—before they turn into dangerous situations. Below are the most common warning signs our team responds to across Richmond, Chesterfield, Henrico, and surrounding areas.

You Smell Rotten Eggs Indoors or Outdoors

Natural gas is odorless, but utility companies add a sulfur-like scent so leaks can be easily detected. If you notice this distinct smell near your stove, water heater, or outdoors, it could be a sign of a leak. Shut off the gas, leave the area immediately, and call our team for professional inspection and repair.

Unexplained Hissing Sounds Near Gas Lines

A hissing or whistling noise near your appliances or utility lines may indicate pressurized gas escaping. These sounds are a red flag and should be taken seriously. Our licensed professionals use specialized tools to locate the exact leak point and perform safe, permanent repairs.

Gas-Powered Appliances Aren’t Working Properly

If your gas oven won’t light, your water heater has inconsistent heating, or your dryer struggles to start, the issue may stem from the supply line. Disruptions in pressure or blockages in the pipe can lead to inefficient or unsafe operation. We can test the entire line for issues and ensure everything is flowing as it should.

Higher-Than-Normal Gas Bills

A slow, undetected gas leak can quietly drive up your utility costs. If your monthly bills seem unusually high—even without increased usage—it may be time for a system check. Our team can perform a thorough diagnostic to locate hidden leaks and reduce your ongoing energy expenses.
