Gas smell in the houseAlkmaar, Noord-Holland

A natural-gas or rotten-egg smell indoors is a potential emergency. Natural gas is odorless by itself — utilities add mercaptan so leaks are detectable. Even a faint whiff can indicate a cracked gas line, a faulty appliance connection, or a failing gas valve. Leave the house immediately without flipping switches or lighting flames, call your gas utility's emergency line from outside, and then contact a licensed plumber or HVAC technician for the repair.
