So I guess it must have been nothing But it was easy to report it and the response was very low key/caused no commotion which was nice. -OP


Don’t give up. There is definitely a leak.


You were right! Went outside today and the smell was back and strong as ever. I walked around the area for a bit and was able to pinpoint that it was strongest near where the water co. had dug their hole a couple weeks back. Called Washington Gas again, and the tech that came out this time quickly escalated the ticket. Within a couple hours a crew was out ripping up the street to do repairs. They are just now wrapping up after about 6-7 hours of work. -OP


Thanks for the update, OP! I've had to call a few times for particular leaks that WashGas wasn't able to detect at first. They were always nice about it and I tried to pinpoint it as much as I can if if there seems to be a pattern to it.
