What to Expect During Gas Line Replacement

When we replace your gas line, we’ll:

• Turn off your gas supply and secure the area.
• Remove the old, damaged piping.
• Install new, code-compliant gas lines.
• Test thoroughly for leaks before restoring service.

To prepare for your gas line replacement, we may request that you clear access to areas where gas pipes run. Plan to be without gas service for several hours. Our plumbing company will explain exactly what we’re doing at each step, so you’ll never feel left in the dark about what’s happening in your home.

The Hidden Dangers of Gas Leaks

Gas leaks rank among the most serious plumbing problems a homeowner can face. Natural gas itself has no odor — the rotten eggs smell you detect comes from an additive called mercaptan, specifically included so you can notice leaks.

A gas line leak creates immediate dangers: fire hazards when gas builds up and reaches ignition sources and health risks from inhaling the gas. Even small leaks waste energy and drive up your gas bills while posing gradual danger.

Most concerning is carbon monoxide, which is a colorless, odorless gas produced when natural gas doesn’t burn completely. This threat causes symptoms, from headaches and dizziness to unconsciousness and even death. Every year, carbon monoxide poisoning from gas leaks affects thousands of homeowners nationwide.

The ServiceWise team can help you understand how to prevent them and respond appropriately if you suspect a problem in your home.

Warning Signs of Gas Line Trouble You Shouldn’t Ignore

Catching gas line problems early saves you from danger and costly emergency repairs. Here are key signs that warrant immediate attention:

1. That distinctive rotten eggs smell is your first and most obvious warning. If you catch even a whiff of this sulfur-like odor, don’t ignore it. Your nose is picking up the mercaptan additive specifically designed to alert you to leaks.
2. Listen for a hissing noise near gas appliances or along gas piping routes. This sound indicates gas escaping from a compromised line and requires immediate professional attention.
3. Watch for visible changes around your property. Dead vegetation above buried gas lines often signals an underground leak. The escaping gas prevents plants from getting necessary oxygen, creating distinctive patches of brown or dying plants.
4. Physical symptoms like ongoing headaches, dizziness, nausea, or fatigue when you’re at home that improve when you leave might indicate gas exposure. These symptoms are your body warning you something’s wrong.
5. Your gas meter provides another clue. If it shows consumption even when all gas appliances are off, you’ve likely got a leak somewhere in your system.
