Our Process
Initial Safety Assessment
When we arrive, we first ensure the immediate area is safe. If gas levels are elevated, we'll help secure the area and coordinate with the utility company as needed before beginning diagnostic work.
Locate the Leak
Using electronic gas detectors and proven inspection techniques, we systematically trace your gas lines, connections, and appliances to pinpoint the exact source of the leak.
Repair or Isolate
Once the leak is located, we either repair it on the spot — replacing damaged fittings, pipe sections, or connections — or isolate the affected line to eliminate the immediate danger.
Verify & Confirm
We pressure-test the repaired section and re-scan the surrounding area with our detection equipment to confirm the leak is fully resolved and your system is safe to use.

Recognizing a Gas Leak
Natural gas and propane are both odorless in their pure form, but gas companies add a chemical called mercaptan that gives the gas a distinctive rotten egg or sulfur smell. This odor is your first and most important warning sign. However, not all leaks produce a smell that’s easy to detect — especially small leaks, outdoor leaks, or leaks in well-ventilated areas. Other warning signs include a hissing sound near a gas line or appliance, a gas stove burner that won’t light or produces an unusual flame, unexplained increases in your gas bill, physical symptoms like headaches or nausea when you’re indoors, and — for underground leaks — patches of dead grass or bubbling in standing water near your gas line. If you notice any of these signs, take them seriously.
What to Do in a Gas Emergency
If you believe you have a gas leak, your only priority is getting everyone out of the house safely. Do not flip light switches, unplug devices, or use your phone inside — any electrical spark could ignite accumulated gas. Walk, don’t run, to avoid generating static. Once you’re outside and at a safe distance (at least 100 feet from the building), call 911 and your gas utility provider’s emergency number. Do not re-enter the home until emergency responders have confirmed it is safe. After the immediate emergency is handled, call Cool Rays to schedule a thorough leak detection and repair so you can be confident the problem is fully resolved.
Why Professional Detection Matters
Many homeowners assume that if they can’t smell gas, there isn’t a problem. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Small leaks, leaks in ventilated areas, and leaks in underground or concealed piping can go undetected by smell alone for weeks or even months. Professional detection equipment is sensitive enough to find these hidden leaks before they become dangerous. At Cool Rays, our technicians use calibrated electronic detectors alongside pressure testing to provide a complete picture of your gas system’s integrity. We don’t just check the area where you noticed a problem — we inspect the entire system to make sure there are no other issues lurking out of sight. When it comes to gas, thoroughness isn’t optional — it’s essential.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a gas leak?
The most recognizable sign is a rotten egg or sulfur-like smell — gas companies add this odor (mercaptan) specifically to help you detect leaks. Other signs include a hissing or whistling sound near gas lines or appliances, dead or dying vegetation in an otherwise healthy area of your yard (which can indicate an underground line leak), physical symptoms like dizziness, nausea, headaches, or difficulty breathing when indoors, and a white cloud or dust blowing near a gas line.
What should I do if I suspect a gas leak?
Leave your home immediately. Do not turn any electrical switches, lights, or appliances on or off. Do not use your phone until you are well away from the building. Do not light matches, candles, or any open flame. Once you are at a safe distance, call 911 and your gas utility company's emergency line. After the immediate danger is addressed, contact Cool Rays for professional leak detection and repair to ensure your system is fully safe.
Can a small gas leak be dangerous?
Yes, absolutely. Even a small gas leak is dangerous for several reasons. First, gas can accumulate in enclosed spaces over time, eventually reaching a concentration that is explosive. Second, prolonged exposure to even low levels of natural gas or propane can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. Third, small leaks often grow larger over time as the source of the leak — whether corrosion, a failing fitting, or a cracked pipe — continues to deteriorate. There is no such thing as a gas leak that is too small to address.
How do professionals detect gas leaks?
Professional gas leak detection goes far beyond simply smelling for gas. We use electronic combustible gas detectors that can sense gas concentrations measured in parts per million, allowing us to detect leaks that are far too small to smell. We also use pressure testing, where we pressurize a section of gas line and monitor for any drop in pressure that would indicate a leak. For underground or concealed lines, we may use tracer gas or specialized equipment to isolate the exact leak location without unnecessary excavation or wall damage.
