Unfortunately, over the lifespan of your gas lines, it’s common to experience malfunctions here and there. One of the most notable is a leak in your line. This could be a leak at one of the fittings or a hole in the line as a result of corrosion. As soon as you notice you have a gas leak, shut off the main gas supply valve to your home. You never want gas building up inside your home as it can be extremely toxic and dangerous.
Many signs indicate you need prompt gas line repair service.
- Sulfur smell
- Hissing noise
- High gas bills
- Visible corrosion
- Appliance malfunctions
There are various culprits behind a failing gas line. One of the most typical is rust or corrosion. This happens when moisture is in constant contact with the metal line. This problem is most prominent in underground and older pipes. The corrosion will cause the gas line to thin and eventually leak. In the event of pipe corrosion, replacing the existing line with a new pipe is necessary.
Another culprit behind gas line issues is a loose fitting. Depending on where you have gas in your home, there may be multiple fittings, including tees and elbows, to successfully divert gas to all your appliances. Over time, the settling of your house and even excessive vibration from appliances can cause the fittings to loosen. In many cases, we can simply retighten the fitting and repair the issue. However, in cases of a severely worn-out fitting, we may need to replace it.
