REPAIRING GAS LEAKS

Many homes use natural or propane gas to fuel appliances and a gas leak repair is a common need. Water heaters, kitchen stoves, ovens, grills, and fireplaces are common appliances in Texas that use gas. If you have a gas leak in your line, it may smell like eggs or sulfur. The smell of gas can be scary and dangerous. The best thing to do if you smell gas is leave the area immediately. The fumes can easily ignite from the sparks of electricity and flames. Don’t risk trying to figure out what may be the cause. Call Trident Plumbing immediately.

Gas Leak Repair Process

Gas leak repair is a serious concern and should never be attempted by a homeowner or handyman. If the gas service has been shut off by the gas company, the leak will have to be fixed before service can be restored. A permit will be required, and a test will have to be completed to ensure it is fixed properly. Whether your leak is isolated to an appliance, or if it’s a main line gas leak, Trident Plumbing will work rigorously to find the problem and guide you through the repair process. We will get your service restored promptly.

Common Areas for Gas Line Repair

  • Around water heater in garage or attic
  • Main gas meter
  • Gas stove or kitchen appliances
  • Fireplace or grill

After the source of the gas leak has been determined, we will handle the requirements from the city and give you options to repair the leak. Each city has different guidelines for repairs and replacements, so your plan will be customized according to your home and the current code requirements. It may be required to dig up the line in your yard or access the line through a wall inside your home. Be ensured you will have a straight forward price before the job is started.
