Believe it or not, natural gas smells like rotten eggs to keep you safe! Since natural gas on its own is odourless, a harmless and safe chemical called mercaptan is mixed with the gas so we can smell it if there is a gas leak. Most people describe the smell of natural gas mixed with mercaptan as similar to rotten eggs or sulphur. If you use natural gas in your home and notice a smell of rotten eggs, you might have a natural gas leak.
If you suspect you do have a leak, vacate your home and contact Drain Pro Plumbing immediately.
