If you notice discolored vegetation near a gas pipeline or detect the distinct “rotten egg” odor of natural gas, call Nicor Gas immediately and leave the area. Never touch or enter any structures suspected to contain leakage as this could expose yourself to harm.
Your home may make a hissing sound when there is an appliance leak or service line rupture. As an extra safety measure, Nicor Gas adds mercaptan to natural gas as a precaution, so if you detect this smell – commonly associated with rotten eggs – immediately evacuate and stay away from any appliances, light switches, matches etc. Nicor Gas’ crew of experts will arrive shortly to investigate if it’s an actual natural gas leak or not.
