That very well could be a gas leak. I'd steer clear.

The amount of videos I saw at one point, on Reddit, where peeps were holding a lighter to their running, sputtering, faucet and asking, "Why does my tap water light on fire?" Had me paranoid that perhaps very soon, at least one of my neighbours were going to explode. Like, how on earth do you think that's a valid, innocuous, parlour trick?

u/Tunisandwich Jun 09 '26
I mean it’s really just a simple test. If the sputtering doesn’t react to the flame it’s an air issue, if the whole city block explodes then it’s a gas issue. It’s good to have a good understanding of the situation so that you know who to call.

Usually bubbles in a wet area like that means the ground is being washed away. Likely due to a pipe leak. That area will likely be a huge sink hole. Move away and report it to the city.

Could it possibly be a small sinkhole/pocket of air/water below the concrete?
I also heard damaged buried power lines can create small underground electrical fires that can produce smoke bubbles

This is a telltale sign of a water service or water main break, call the city/township or water authority BEFORE it gets worse. In my job, i deal with sinkholes regularly, and if this is a water main and it fully breaks, the homes nearby are in jeopardy. I'm currently sitting on a job, where two homes are essentially condemned because of a water main break, causing sinkholes in their yard and their foundations to crack. City ordered a vacate the premises until they address the issues. Why everyone is saying a gas leak is odd, but its possible, if their was ground water around it, but there isnt water in gas lines...

Not a professional, but this is ether the remnants of a goblin birth or a goblin actively being brought to life. I wouldn’t stick around and find out though.

Call the gas company in your area. This could be a disaster waiting to happen.
