If there is any gas leak in your home, you will possibly be able to tell because there should be a distinctive scent to help you detect it. Utility companies add that scent to help in detecting gas leaks since the gas itself is odorless and colorless. So if your gas oven or gas stove smells like gas when off, you may need to check your appliances to identify the exact source of the gas leak.
Hissing sound for gas leak
A hissing sound from your gas appliance or anywhere along the gas lines or fittings is a clear indication of gas leaking. You will also be able to smell the gas leaking in such a manner and you should immediately turn off the main gas valve to your appliances. After that open all the windows and step outside the house to call the gas company if the leak is on the gas line. If the leak is within your stove or oven, you should call a professional gas oven repair expert to fix it. If in the first place you detected gas leak by smelling it in the air inside your home and you were not necessarily close to the appliance, you want to get outside your house immediately. Avoid switching on any lights or operating electronics and gadgets like your phone as that could ignite the gas and cause fire. Open the windows as you walk outside to call the gas company for the emergency.
Soap solution bubble tests for gas leaks
It’s hard to tell when gas leaks slowly somewhere along the gas line and other gas fittings. So use warm soapy water to spray those areas where you suspect the gas leaks. If there is any gas leak you will immediately notice gas bubbles escaping from the soapy water film. That is one of the most common methods professional appliance service technicians use to detect gas leaks, so it is very reliable.
Other ways on how to tell if oven is leaking gas
If for some reason you can’t smell any gas leaking from your appliances, there are other ways to check for signs of gas leaks. Slow gas leaks may not necessarily cause an odor that makes it obvious for detection. If you notice that the color of flame from your gas stove burners is orange or yellowish, it could be an indication of a slow gas leak. With no gas leak you should normally get a strong blue flame from the gas burners of your appliance. The slow gas leak could also be the cause of any plants in your home that suddenly start dying without any other possible reason to explain it. An increase in gas bills that doesn’t make sense to you as far as the way you use your gas appliances is concerned could also be as a result of a gas leak that has been taking place. If on the outside of your gas appliance you notice any marks of black soot, it is also another sign for possible gas leak.
