Repairing Natural Gas Lines
Homeowners use natural gas for heat and for other various appliances. Problems can occur with the gas line over time. Gas leaks are extremely dangerous to anyone residing in the home. Leaks are extremely flammable and toxic in nature. For this reason, gas lines should always be installed in a home by a professional.
Gas Line Issues
After a period of time pipes tend to age and start to decay. New Lines have to be put in in-order for your home to remain safe. A buildup of gas pressure can happen over time. When this occurs, pressure can build up in the pipe and can cause a potential bust in your pipes making an unsafe environment for your family.
Why Leaks Occur
There are only a couple reasons why your gas line would leak. The first reason being due to incorrect appliance installation or a gas line hookup that was not done properly. The second being if the hose for the gas line gets pinched then a small line leak can develop. Having gas lines in your home is essentially safe; however, Leaking gas lines are extremely dangerous and should be addressed immediately. Natural gas has a smell that is easy to distinguish. It smells sulfer or rotten eggs. If you smell this, call a plumber right away as you may have a leak.
How to Know When Your Lines Need to be Checked
- Stange smells in your home could be the result of your lines leaking
- Hissing sounds in the walls could be your gas lines leaking
- If grass or plants are dying in lawn, especially over your gas line
- New building items on your property are an excellent time to check you lines. When building make sure you do not damage any of these lines.
What Should You Do If You Have a Gas Line That Needs Repairs
The first thing you should do if you have a gas line leak is to turn off the gas supply in your home. Each line to every appliance as well as the main supply line into your home needs to be off.
