Owning a home comes with maintenance issues, including gas line repairs. Sometimes it’s hard to determine whether you can fix your gas line or need to replace it. There are a few signs that can help you know if your gas line needs repair.
Hissing Sounds
If you use natural gas or propane in your home, you may hear short hissing sounds as the gas turns on, especially with a gas stove. However, if you hear hissing noises for a prolonged period, this is a sign to turn off the gas. The most common reason for hissing noises is a leak in the gas line. Turn the gas off and call us right away. We will send a plumber to your home to evaluate the issue.
Nasty Odors
Nasty and foul odors can happen in your home for several reasons. Drain clogs, sewer line issues, and gas line problems can cause unpleasant odors to seep into your home. Natural gas contains an added chemical to give it a unique smell.
If you notice sulfur smells, you may have a gas leak in the line. Get out of the house and call us right away.
Rusty Pipes
As with all appliances, gas lines also have a lifespan. If moisture seeps into your home, it can cause rust build-up and affect the lifespan of your pipes. We have an experienced team of plumbers who will inspect your gas lines for corrosion and provide a solution for you.
Appliance Failure
Gas lines in older homes can age more quickly than in newer constructions. If you have an older home, you may experience frequent appliance failure because of loose connections. This can also happen with your gas lines. We can come to your home and conduct an inspection to determine whether you have a faulty connection or need a gas line repair.
Dead Grass or Plants
Dead grass or plants around your home are another sign of gas line failure. Cracked gas lines can leak gas into your yard and remove oxygen from your vegetation. If you see random brown patches in your yard, you may have a gas leak.
