What’s the absolute worst thing you can do in an emergency? The answer is simple: DON’T PANIC! Unfortunately, panic is exactly what so many of our minds are programmed to do by nature and upbringing when we smell that sulphur or rotten egg-like stench that can only reasonably be one thing: leaking gas. In our ‘gas leak – what to do’ guide, we’ll guide you calmly through the best step-by-step process for staying calm, staying safe, and alerting all the right people to your gas leak emergency.
Did you know that gas, created by the totally natural process involving decomposition of organic matter deep beneath the surface of the earth, actually has no odour at all? What the gas suppliers do is add a compound called ethyl mercaptan to the gas supplied to your home so that if it leaks, your nose will detect the stench.
