Gas Leaks
If you smell natural gas within your home, do not attempt to locate the source of the odor. Leave immediately, keeping the door open, and go to a neighbor's house or use your cell phone once you clear the property and call 911. They will inform Washington Gas. Any time you suspect a natural gas leak and are unsure of its severity or what to do, evacuate the area immediately and call 911 from a safe location.
If you smell natural gas outside of your home, call the Washington Gas Emergency Leak Line at (703) 750-1400 or 1-800-752-7520.
