What to do if you smell propane or suspect a leak from your tank?
For your safety, propane has an odour added to it so you can detect leaks. The odour added to propane gives off a strong smell of rotten eggs, meaning you should be able to detect a leak fairly fast. Another indication of a gas leak is a hissing noise from a pipe or appliance.
If you detect a leak you should:
- Extinguish all smoking materials and open flames. Do not create any sources of ignition by using flashlights, cell phones or electrical switches.
- Get everyone out of the building immediately.
- Shut off the propane. If safe to do so, turn off the main supply valve on your propane tank.
- Report the leak. Call your propane supplier’s emergency phone number [Budget Propane 1-888-405-7777 24 hours a day, 7 days a week] or 911. Do not re-enter the area until cleared to do so by a qualified service technician or emergency responder.
- Get your system checked. After the area has been deemed safe, a qualified service technician must repair the leak, turn on the propane, and check and re-activate the propane appliances.
Some people may have difficulty smelling propane due to age, a medical condition, the effects of medication, etc. On rare occasions, propane can lose its odour. Consider installing propane detectors for additional security. However, never ignore the smell of propane, even if it is faint or the detector is not sounding an alarm.”
