What to Do in Case of a Propane Leak
Knowing how to respond effectively in case of a suspected propane leak is essential. Here are the steps to take immediately:
Identify the Source of the Odor: Propane itself is odorless. However, a harmless odorant is added for leak detection. If you smell something similar to rotten eggs, it may indicate a propane leak.
Extinguish Ignition Sources: Eliminate any potential ignition sources like open flames, cigarettes, or sparks from electronics.
Evacuate Immediately: Get everyone out of the house promptly and safely.
Do Not Use Electronic Devices: Avoid using light switches, thermostats, phones, or appliances. These actions can create sparks and ignite any leaked propane.
Turn Off the Propane Supply: If possible, locate the propane tank or cylinder and shut off the gas valve. Only attempt this step if you can do so safely without putting yourself in harm’s way.
Call for Help: Once you’re a safe distance away, call 911 and Delaware Propane immediately. Emergency personnel and qualified propane service technicians will address the leak and ensure your safety.

Why Propane Safety Matters
Propane has a well-deserved reputation for safety. Strict government regulations and high industry standards, rigorously upheld by reputable suppliers like Delaware Propane, contribute to this positive record. However, safety starts at home. That’s why we want to ensure you have the knowledge and resources to protect yourself and your family.
Leave Propane Safety to the Professionals
Even if you no longer smell gas, trained professionals are required to address the leak safely. A certified propane service technician will locate the leak, thoroughly inspect all gas appliances, and relight any pilots. Wait for their approval before returning to your home.
