Smell Rotten Eggs? Act Fast. Call Jessy for Expert Gas Leak Solutions in Surrey, Vancouver, Langley, Delta and the surrounding areas.
A gas leak is one of the most serious emergencies a homeowner can encounter. Unlike a water leak, which damages property, a gas leak presents an immediate threat to the safety of your family and your neighborhood. At Jessy Plumbing & Heating, we are fully certified gas fitters with the experience and tools necessary to locate and repair leaks in your natural gas or propane lines. From aging stove connections to corroded exterior lines, we provide the expert intervention needed to make your home safe again.
Know the Signs
Visual & Physical Indicators
Natural gas is naturally odorless, but utility companies add a “rotten egg” scent (mercaptan) to help you detect it. Beyond the smell, look for dead patches of grass near your exterior gas lines, a faint hissing sound near appliances, or physical symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and headaches among household members.
Where Leaks Frequently Occur
Boiler & Furnace Joints: Vibration over time can loosen fittings on your primary heating systems.
Exterior Lines: Corrosion caused by soil acidity or accidental damage from landscaping and digging.
Fireplace Valves: Faulty shut-off valves or pilot light assemblies that no longer seal correctly.
Helpful Tips: If you smell gas, do not turn any lights on or off, use a phone inside the house, or light a match, as a single spark can trigger an explosion. Evacuate everyone from the building immediately, leaving the door open. Once you are a safe distance away, call FortisBC or your local emergency services, then call Jessy at 778-992-0750. We will coordinate with the utility company to ensure your service is restored only when it is 100% safe.
Gas Line Replacement & Fitting
Our gas fitting services are performed to the highest BC Safety Standards. Whether you need a simple valve replacement or a complete line reroute, we use high-grade materials and verify every connection with a bubble test and pressure drop test. We ensure your gas-fired appliances are connected securely and functioning efficiently.

Dealing with gas requires more than just plumbing knowledge—it requires specialized certification and a commitment to detail. At Jessy Plumbing & Heating, we take that responsibility seriously. We serve residential and commercial clients across Surrey, Vancouver, and the Lower Mainland, providing peace of mind through expert craftsmanship. When it comes to gas, never settle for “good enough.” Demand the best for your home’s safety.
