Health Risks from Gas Leaks Require Fast Action
Even a small gas leak can harm your health. Natural gas displaces oxygen in the air you breathe. When oxygen levels drop, your body reacts quickly.
Early symptoms of gas exposure include:
- Headaches that go away when you leave the house
- Fatigue or feeling tired for no clear reason
- Nausea or upset stomach
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
Longer exposure causes more serious problems. You may feel confused, have trouble breathing, or lose consciousness. Carbon monoxide is another danger. When gas appliances do not burn fuel completely, they release this odorless, colorless gas. You cannot smell or see it, but it can be deadly.
Pets often show symptoms before people do. If your dog or cat seems sluggish or sick indoors, a gas leak may be the cause. Children and elderly family members face higher risk because their bodies are more sensitive.
Many Frisco homes in Panther Creek, Starwood, and other communities are built to be energy efficient. Tight seals on windows and doors keep conditioned air inside. But those same seals trap gas fumes longer than older, draftier homes. A small leak in a sealed home can reach dangerous levels faster. If anyone in your household feels unwell without explanation, call for a professional gas leak inspection.
What to Do If You Smell Gas at Home
If you smell gas, act fast. Your first goal is to get everyone out safely. Do not wait to see if the smell goes away.
Follow these steps:
Do not flip any light switches, on or off
Do not use your phone, garage door opener, or any electronics inside
Do not light matches or candles
Open doors and windows only if you can do so quickly on your way out
Leave the home immediately with all family members and pets
Walk away from the house before making any calls
Once you are outside and at a safe distance, call for help. Contact Atmos Energy or call 911 from your cell phone or a neighbor's home. Do not go back inside until a professional clears the home.
After the immediate danger passes, call a licensed plumber. The gas company may turn off your gas and confirm a leak exists. But a plumber finds the exact source, makes repairs, and tests the system before you use it again.
Atmos Energy serves most Frisco homes. Save their emergency number in your phone so you have it ready. For leak detection, diagnosis, and repair, schedule service with a licensed Frisco plumber.
How Licensed Plumbers Find Hidden Gas Leaks
You may smell gas but have no idea where it is coming from. Gas lines run through walls, under floors, and into attics. Some leaks happen at connections you cannot see or reach. A licensed plumber uses professional methods to find the exact source.
Detection methods include:
Electronic gas detectors – These handheld tools measure gas levels in the air near walls, floors, and ceilings. They alert the plumber when gas is present, even in small amounts.
Pressure testing – The plumber measures pressure inside your gas line. If pressure drops over time, there is a leak somewhere in the system.
Bubble solution – A soapy liquid is applied to joints, valves, and fittings. Bubbles form where gas escapes.
Infrared cameras – These detect temperature changes near a leak. Cold spots can reveal gas escaping from a line.
Visual inspection – The plumber checks all appliance hookups and exposed lines for damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
Many Frisco homes have complex gas line layouts. Two-story homes in Trinity Falls and Phillips Creek Ranch often have lines routed through multiple floors and attic spaces. Professional tools reach areas you cannot access on your own. Licensed plumbers follow safety codes and test thoroughly before clearing your home for use.

Professional Detection Tools Pinpoint Leaks Quickly
Modern detection equipment takes the guesswork out of finding gas leaks. Our plumbers use tools designed to locate leaks fast without tearing apart your walls or floors.
Tools we use include:
Handheld electronic detectors – These measure gas concentration in parts per million. They pick up even trace amounts that your nose cannot detect.
Ultrasonic leak detectors – Gas escaping through a tiny hole creates sound waves. This tool hears what human ears cannot.
Manometer – This device measures pressure inside your gas line with precision. Small pressure changes reveal hidden leaks.
Tracer gas – For buried outdoor lines, we introduce a safe tracer gas into the pipe. A sensor above ground shows exactly where the gas surfaces.
All of these methods are non-invasive. We do not cut into drywall or dig up your yard unless a repair requires it. Your home's finishes stay protected during the inspection.
Frisco homeowners invest heavily in their properties. Homes here often feature custom finishes, hardwood floors, and landscaped yards. Detection methods that avoid cosmetic damage matter. Our tools let us find the problem and plan the smallest, most accurate repair possible.
