Natural Gas Safety

  • Natural gas is odorless, colorless, and combustible. T&L Gas adds Mercaptan into our pipelines for detection and safety. Mercaptan is a strong, non-toxic, sulfur-like odorant, specifically engineered to ensure that any potential gas leak can be easily identified by its distinct scent. This gives the gas a distinctive smell of rotten eggs, which is a crucial safety measure for consumers. If you detect this smell in your home, it is vital to leave the area immediately and call T&L Gas at 936-231-2244 to report the issue. A leak can also be detected by a hissing or roaring sound coming from the pipeline, indicating a serious gas leak that requires immediate attention to prevent hazardous situations.
