Plumbing Gas Leaks: Detection, Safety, and Repair
If you smell rotten eggs near any gas appliance or meter, leave the building first, then call FortisBC at 1-800-663-9911 or 911 from outside. British Columbia recorded 69 gas incidents in 2024 and 79 in 2025, so a suspected leak deserves an emergency response, not an indoor inspection. You may be standing in a Richmond garage beside a tankless water heater, or in a Burnaby kitchen wondering whether that faint sulphur smell is the stove, a drain, or something outside.
