If you smell gas, your first priority is getting to safety. Leave your home immediately and move to a safe distance outside. Do not turn lights on or off, use electronics, or try to locate the source of the leak.
From a safe location, call Avista Utilities, or your local gas provider, to report the issue. They can shut off the gas supply and respond to any immediate safety concerns.
If you are unsure who your gas provider is, call 911 for immediate assistance.
Once the situation is safe, a licensed professional can inspect your gas lines, identify the source of the leak, and complete the necessary repairs. In homes across Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, natural gas systems are used daily for heating, cooking, and hot water, so it is important to have the issue handled correctly.
Working with an experienced local team like Bulldog Rooter ensures your system is thoroughly checked and your home is safe to return to.
