Factors affecting cost include the accessibility of the leak, materials needed, and labor time required.

The most obvious sign of a gas leak is the distinctive rotten egg or sulfur smell that gas companies add to natural gas for safety. You might also hear hissing or whistling sounds near gas lines, appliances, or your meter.
