After I brought gas into the house about 6 years ago I decided to get the plumber back in to run a line to the grill on my deck. That all went well and then I was working on building my new gun room and I called him back to run another line so I could have a gas heater in the gun room. He always tested everything with soapy water and pronounced it fine so I began sheet-rocking the room. I never disturbed any of the gas pipes but the next morning when I went to continue working on the room I smelled the very faint smell of gas... or else a mouse had died in a wall...
Anyway, I called the plumber back and he couldn't smell it. He called his younger helper in and he thought he could detect a faint smell.
They spent the next hour looking for a single tiny bubble in one of the three joints they had installed... but there it was - a 1/8" bubble would show about every three or four minutes.
Problem solved. I have a very sensitive nose for such things and I don't thing a gas leak would ever get by me.
