Common Signs You May Have a Gas Line Problem

Watch for any of these red flags:

• The smell of rotten eggs or sulfur (gas companies add mercaptan for odor)

• Hissing or whistling near gas lines or connections

• Dead or discolored vegetation near underground pipes

• Unexpected increases in your gas bill

• Difficulty lighting or weak flames on gas appliances

• Visible rust, corrosion, or damage on exposed gas piping

If you notice any of these, treat it as an urgent matter. Gas leaks can be serious. 

How the Gas Line Process Works (What You Can Expect)

1. Contact & Assessment
   When you reach out, we’ll ask for core details such as the appliance, its location, and any visible damage, and schedule a visit.

2. Inspection & Diagnostics
   Our plumber arrives to visually inspect, perform a pressure test, and use detection tools to pinpoint any issues.

3. Plan & Estimate
   We’ll propose the best solution (repair, replacement, or new install) with a detailed estimate.

4. Execution
   Once approved, we’ll shut off the gas, remove or repair the piping, and install new lines or connections in accordance with code.

5. Safety Testing & Certification
   After installation or repair, we pressure-test, check for leaks, and verify the system meets all safety standards.

6. Final Walkthrough & Documentation
   We’ll explain what was done, provide any needed permits or inspection results, and ensure you understand how to operate and monitor your system.

Frequently Asked Questions (Gas Line Edition)

Is gas line installation dangerous?
Yes, it can be—if done improperly. That’s why gas piping should always be handled by trained professionals who follow codes and safety protocols. 

What materials are used for gas lines?
Common materials used for underground lines include black steel, stainless steel, copper, and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Material choice depends on local code and usage. 

Do I need a permit or inspection?
Yes. Most jurisdictions require gas line work to be permitted and inspected to ensure safety and compliance with relevant codes.

How often should I inspect gas lines?
It’s wise to schedule a professional inspection at least once every few years—or immediately after any plumbing work or renovations.

Can I do gas line work myself?
We strongly recommend against it. Mistakes with gas lines can cause leaks, fires, or explosions. Always hire qualified, licensed professionals.
