Gas Lines

A sulfur or rotten-egg smell around an appliance or gas line is one of the clearest warning signs that something may be wrong. You may also notice a hissing sound near a connection, unexplained increases in your gas bill, or even a line of dead vegetation outside where an underground gas line runs. If you suspect a gas leak, don’t try to track it down yourself. Leave the area and contact your gas utility or emergency services from a safe location. Once the immediate safety concern is addressed, a qualified professional can inspect the line and determine what needs to be repaired.

Gas lines don’t necessarily need an annual inspection, but having older lines checked every few years can help catch signs of wear or corrosion. It’s also a good idea to have the existing gas line inspected before adding a new appliance. That way, you know the current system is in good condition and can safely handle the additional demand.

In many cases, yes, as long as gas service is available to the property. We’ll look at where your gas service enters the home, where the new appliance will be located, and how much gas that appliance requires. From there, we can determine what would be involved in running the new line and give you a better idea of the scope of the project.
