Gas Line Installation & Replacement

If you have existing gas lines that you think need to be replaced, consider these signs:
- Old age: Many of the lines in older homes in our area are nearing the time to be replaced. Gas pipes typically last 30 to 50 years, sometimes even longer.

- Remodeling: We can happily handle any major changes to your home’s layout or new appliances that require adjustments to your gas lines.
How To Prepare for Gas Line Installation or Replacement
Proactive homeowners can take a few steps to prepare for their gas plumbing installation or replacement. You can start by locating your gas line(s) if you have any. If you suspect a leak, call emergency services and then your local gas company. Don’t wait for your appointment to bring this up.
You should also confirm and obtain any necessary permits locally. Remaining code-compliant is essential. This is especially important with new installations or if you’re looking to sell your home any time in the next 30 to 50 years.

Gas Line Maintenance
Gas plumbing maintenance is an easy task to ignore. After all, your gas lines are largely out of sight and out of mind. But keeping your pipes maintained is essential for your safety and the longevity of your lines.

- Regularly monitor your gas bills: Minding any changes in usage, your gas bill should remain relatively steady. Any sudden spikes can alert you to a potential gas leak.
- Perform a visual inspection: Make sure all your gas appliances are turned off. Then, check the meter and surrounding pipes for cracks or rust. And always look out for rotten egg smells.
- Contact us at the first sign of an issue: Never hesitate when it comes to your gas lines. Contacting a professional early is a crucial step in caring for your gas lines.
