How Gas Piping Works in a Home
The gas that comes into your home starts at your gas meter, and from there it runs through either black iron pipe or flexible yellow gas piping to all of the gas appliances in your home, like your furnace, water heater, stove, dryer, or grill. Each one of these appliances should have its own shutoff valve, so you are able to turn the gas off to that appliance without having to shut the gas off to your whole home.
Over time, gas piping can start to have problems, especially in older homes. The fittings that connect the pipes together can loosen up, shutoff valves can get stuck, and pipes in damp areas like basements and crawl spaces can start to rust. This is not good, as even a small gas leak can be a safety risk for you and your family, so it's important to get any problems with your gas lines taken care of right away.
Gas lines also need to be sized correctly for the appliances they are running to. If a new appliance is added to a gas line that is too small, the appliance may not get enough gas to work properly. That's why we always make sure your gas line is the right size for what it's running to, and we pressure test every gas line before we leave to ensure there aren't any leaks.
Signs You Need Gas Line Service
If you are noticing any of these in your home, feel free to give us a call so we can take a look before it ends up turning into a bigger problem.
Smell of Gas
If you smell something like rotten eggs in your home, you most likely have a gas leak. If this is something you are noticing, leave your home right away and call your gas company or 911 from outside before giving us a call.
Hissing Sounds
A hissing sound coming from a gas line, valve, or appliance connection can be a sign of a gas leak, and it should be looked at right away.
Rust or Corrosion
If the gas piping in your basement or crawl space has rust on it, the pipe could be starting to wear down, and you should consider having it looked at before it turns into a leak.
Higher Gas Bill
If your gas bill keeps going up but you are using your appliances the same amount as you always have, this can be a sign of a small leak somewhere in your gas line.
When it comes to gas, it's always better to be safe. If you are noticing any of these signs, feel free to give us a call at (309) 309-2554, and if you smell gas, make sure to leave your home and call your gas company first!
Call NowWhat Gas Pipe Service Is the Best Solution for You?
Many different things should be considered when choosing between repairing your gas line and replacing it, with the biggest ones being how old your gas piping is, what condition it's in, and what the problem is. When it comes to gas, you definitely don't want a quick fix, so we will always be honest with you about what we think the safest option is.
Repairing Your Gas Line
If you have a leak at one fitting, a valve that is stuck, or a small section of pipe that is damaged, we will normally recommend a repair, as these can be fixed without having to replace the rest of your gas piping.
Replacing Your Gas Line
If your gas piping has a lot of rust on it, you've had more than one leak, or you have an older flexible gas connector going to one of your appliances, we almost always recommend a replacement, as older and corroded gas lines are more likely to keep having problems.
Upgrading Your Gas Line
If you are adding a new appliance, like a gas stove, dryer, or tankless water heater, your current gas line might be too small to handle it. If this is a problem you're experiencing, we normally recommend upgrading to a bigger gas line to ensure all of your appliances are able to get enough gas.
