I keep smelling natural gas (not sewer gas), coming from an area just to the top left where the vent cover is. I also smell natural gas whenever I take a shower. It stays on my hair and towels until it is washed off. The water heater was replaced a few years ago by my landlord - but everything he has "fixed" in the house has kept breaking. (he re-did the electrical and not that is also on the fritz.) I suspect he did not have this checked by a professional and he is cheap and won't get anything done professionally.
Should I call the gas company to check it? Is this normal?
PS I've been through 5 gas leaks in my life- so I DO know what natural gas smells like.
I just don't want to call them for something so minor.
PLEASE RESPOND ASAP.
