Smell of Rotten Eggs or Sulfur
Natural gas is odorless, but an odorant called mercaptan is added so leaks can be detected. A rotten egg or sulfur smell near a gas appliance, meter, or line is the clearest warning sign. Do not ignore it.

Signs Your Gas Line
Needs Attention
If you smell gas, leave immediately and call Southwest Gas at 1-800-935-4748 from outside. Once the area is declared safe, call Red Carpet Plumbing for a licensed gas line inspection.
Hissing or Whistling Near a Gas Line
A hissing or whistling sound near a gas appliance, meter, or buried line suggests gas is escaping from a crack, loose connection, or failing fitting. This requires immediate attention.
Dead or Dying Vegetation Above Buried Lines
If grass or plants in your yard are dying in a strip or patch above a buried gas line with no other explanation, a slow underground leak may be allowing gas to displace oxygen in the soil.
Gas Appliances Not Performing Properly
A yellow, flickering, or unusually small flame on a gas stove or furnace can signal an inconsistent or low gas supply caused by a partial blockage or line damage.
Higher Gas Bills Without Increased Usage
A noticeable increase in your gas bill without a change in usage patterns can indicate a slow leak somewhere in your supply lines.

Why Las Vegas Gas Lines
Need Specialized Attention
Gas lines in Las Vegas homes face conditions that are more demanding than in most other regions. Understanding these local factors helps homeowners recognize when inspection or service is warranted.
Desert Heat and Temperature Extremes
Las Vegas summers regularly exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and temperatures inside attics and crawl spaces can reach significantly higher. Flexible CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing) used in many Las Vegas homes is particularly vulnerable to heat stress at exposed connections and fittings. Extreme temperature swings between summer and winter also expand and contract metal pipe joints, weakening seals over time.
Aging Pipe Materials in Older Las Vegas Homes
Homes built before the 1990s in the Las Vegas area often have original black iron gas pipe with threaded fittings sealed with pipe dope compound. Over decades of heat cycles and minor ground movement, that sealant dries out and fitting connections can loosen. An annual inspection is the most reliable way to identify these issues before they become safety hazards.
Caliche Soil and Buried Line Stress
The Las Vegas Valley sits on caliche-rich desert soil that shifts during dry periods and heavy rain events. Buried gas lines are subject to this ground movement over time, which can stress pipe joints and connections below grade. This is especially relevant in older neighborhoods where buried lines have been in place for several decades.
Outdoor Living Additions and Permitted Extensions
Las Vegas homeowners frequently add outdoor gas appliances including built-in grills, fire pits, pool heaters, and outdoor kitchens. These additions require permitted gas line extensions installed by a licensed contractor. Red Carpet Plumbing handles the full process from planning the line route to final safety testing, and coordinates permit requirements for work in Las Vegas, Henderson, and surrounding jurisdictions.

What are the signs of a gas line leak?
The most common sign is a rotten egg or sulfur smell, which is added to natural gas for safety. You may also hear a hissing or whistling sound near a gas appliance or line, notice dead or dying vegetation above a buried gas line, or see a spike in your gas bill without increased usage. If you suspect a leak, leave the building immediately and call Southwest Gas before calling a plumber.
Who is licensed to repair gas lines in Nevada?
In Nevada, gas line repair and installation must be performed by a licensed contractor. Red Carpet Plumbing holds Nevada Contractor License #0048585A under the C-1 Plumbing and Heating classification, which authorizes gas line work. Always verify a contractor's license before allowing gas line work on your property.
Should I call a plumber or the gas company for a gas line problem?
If you smell gas or suspect an active leak, call Southwest Gas at 1-800-935-4748 from outside your home first. Once the area is cleared, call a licensed plumber like Red Carpet Plumbing for the inspection, diagnosis, and repair. The gas utility is responsible for the line up to your meter; you are responsible for everything from the meter into your home.
Can a plumber install a gas line for a stove, dryer, or outdoor grill?
Yes. A licensed plumber can install, extend, or reconnect gas lines for appliances including gas stoves, dryers, water heaters, furnaces, and outdoor gas grills and fire pits. In Las Vegas, this work typically requires a permit. Red Carpet Plumbing handles the full process including installation and safety testing.
How often should gas lines be inspected?
Annual gas line inspections are generally recommended for Las Vegas homes and businesses. Inspections help identify corroded fittings, aging pipe materials, loose connections, and pressure irregularities before they become safety hazards. Older homes, recently purchased properties, and homes with new appliance additions benefit most from regular inspections.
Why do gas lines fail in Las Vegas homes?
Gas lines in Las Vegas face stress from extreme summer heat, temperature swings, and desert soil conditions. Older homes often have aging black iron pipe with dried-out fittings. Flexible CSST connectors in attics and exposed areas are particularly vulnerable to heat stress. Caliche soil layers can also shift and stress buried lines over time.
