How do I detect or repair a leak in my fireplace gas line? If you smell raw gas in your home, there are safety measures to take. Don't touch anything, get out of the house and call your gas supplier, for starters.
First off, you can smell raw gas in your home. We advise that you don't try to light the appliance; don't touch anything electrical; don't use your phone. You basically need to leave your building. When you exit, leave your door open and you call your gas supplier.
It's pretty rare. Once the fireplace is piped in and installed properly, there should be no reason for that. The appliances themselves have safety devices that basically don't allow gas to pass through, if there is no pilot flame. Most of the appliances have safety equipment to prevent that. But if you have a leak then again you want to leave the building and call the gas supplier.
