If you’re having gas line problems, our trained service professionals will inspect your gas line. Once we locate the issue, we’ll offer an effective solution. Some of the most common reasons we recommend replacing gas lines include:
Home Renovations
Any large-scale remodel or home expansion often requires a new gas line. This ensures that any additional gas-powered appliances or fixtures are adequately accommodated.
New Residence
While most houses come with pre-existing gas lines, in the event yours doesn't, you'll likely need to install one to operate specific appliances or fixtures.
Aging Gas Lines
With age and environmental exposure, gas lines can wear down or corrode. If you suspect your gas line to be compromised, it's crucial to engage a professional to inspect it before further use.
New Appliances
Appliances like furnaces and water heaters need natural gas to operate correctly. If your home lacks a gas line, installing one becomes necessary.
Outdoor Natural Gas Appliances
Installations like outdoor grills, fireplaces, or indoor fire pits might call for natural gas connections for safe and efficient usage. If the necessary gas line isn't available, you might need to employ a professional to put one in place.
Identifying a Gas Leak
Your immediate action is crucial upon detecting any signs of a gas leak. We are experts in determining the problem and suggesting a swift and efficient solution. Routine plumbing inspections are essential to spot potential risks. Some of these symptoms suggestive of a gas leak include:
Whistling Noises
A hissing or whistling noise from your gas lines or gas-run appliances is a significant hint of a gas leak.
Reduced Gas Pressure
Recurring gas leaks might lead to a decrease in gas pressure and, in some cases, can even result in frozen gas lines.
Odor of Sulphur
A smell close to rotten eggs can serve as a reliable sign of a gas leak.
Choosing the Correct Pipe for a Gas Line
Most gas lines are made of polyethylene (PE) piping for flexibility and ease of transport. These pipes can be set around corners without needing elbow joints. PE piping is light, flexible, corrosion-resistant, and strong. Our team will determine if this is the best type of pipe material for your gas line.
Choosing the Gas Line Size
Our team will determine the best size for your gas line depending on your home’s demand for gas. If you have multiple electric appliances and a tankless water heater, your home won’t use as much as a home with many gas appliances. We add up the BTU requirement for your gas appliances to adequately calculate the size of the gas line for your home. We will install a pipe width that exceeds your home’s maximum BTU needs.
