Higher water bills, damp drywall, musty odors, reduced water pressure, or the smell of gas can all point to a hidden problem that needs immediate attention. Fontus takes a systematic approach: we identify the source, explain what we find, and recommend the most effective solution to restore the safety and reliability of your plumbing or gas system.

If You Smell Gas
Treat a suspected gas leak as an emergency. Leave the building immediately, avoid using light switches, appliances, or phones inside, and call 911 or your natural gas utility's emergency line from a safe location outside before scheduling any service.
