If You Smell Gas
Never turn back on gas that was shut off for safety, and have gas line work done by a licensed plumber or the gas company. Source: Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority - What To Do If You Smell Natural Gas
A dryer exhaust system carries combustion gases including carbon monoxide out of the home, so HUD rates a detached, missing or blocked dryer exhaust as a life-threatening deficiency; a CO alarm in the laundry area is recommended with gas dryers.

Local Notes for Cottage Grove
Most dryer calls in Cottage Grove come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
The state does not license gas fitters; contractors doing gas work must be bonded with the Department of Labor and Industry, and cities such as Minneapolis and St. Paul set their own gas fitter licensing. Source: DLI: Mechanical contractor bond requirements
In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
