 Gas
line damage can wreak havoc on your health and home. It is essential to understand the risks of gas line problems since natural gas
has an important role in U.S. households. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), nearly 15% of the country’s
natural gas resources pump directly into residential gas lines. Also known as gas piping, gas lines are tubes or pipes that deliver natural
gas from the outdoor supply source and into your home energy system.
If a gas line cracks or breaks, the leaked emissions can compromise your physical wellness. Other potential consequences include appliances
becoming non-working and higher energy bills.

Warning Signs
 Since
the most severe damage can render your home or place of business uninhabitable, it is vital to have a working knowledge of the warning signs so you can act right
away.
Learn some of the Warning Signs to determine whether your property has a damaged gas line:
- Hissing Sounds - Gas escaping from damaged pipelines can emit a hissing sound. This sound results from
the pressurized gas escaping out of a pipeline crack or hole and then entering the air of your home. If the hissing sound is loud
enough, it could indicate that the gas emission is quite extensive. It is best to have your utility company temporarily shut off
the gas and then contact
a repair service to fix the line before toxic chemicals continue to flood your
home.
 Malfunctioning Appliances -
Multiple appliances with poor performance could indicate that the mainline
of your natural gas system has experienced cracks or deterioration. Such deterioration can cause low gas pressure, and this means
that not all of your appliances will receive enough fuel to function. Appliances that may begin to malfunction include Gas Stove,
Water Heater, Gas Dryer, Furnace, and Heat Pump.-
Dying Vegetation -
If you have underground gas lines installed on your property, gas leaks can be even
harder to detect. However, damaged gas lines can have devastating effects on your outdoor plants and vegetation. Gas line leaks can
block the flow of oxygen and poison plant roots, so anything planted near a faulty line is likely to wither and die. Indoor gas leaks
can also harm potted plants and flowers. If you notice plants changing colors or
shriveling in spite of receiving the recommended
sunlight and care, gas leaks
could be responsible for their demise. These leaks can eventually cause
humans and pets to fall sick
as well, so it is crucial to have an expert correct
the problem as quickly as possible.
 Atmospheric Changes -
Serious gas line problems can cause changes to atmospheric pressure within the home. Homeowners have
reported unusual clouds of fog, mist, or condensation in certain areas of the house. Individuals may also feel a strange or bleary
feeling when investigating affected areas.- Unexpected Gas Bill - Another possible sign of problems with your gas line is a sudden increase in your
utility bill. Unless you lived through an unusually cold winter and used the gas heater much more than usual, sudden spikes in your
utility bill are unlikely. An excessive utility bill could be the result of natural gas constantly leaking from the pipelines in your
home or outdoors.
- Rust or Corrosion - Most gas lines are made of metal. Whether they are installed underground or above the
surface, these pipes can eventually corrode or deteriorate over time. Steel gas lines can rust due to excess
moisture or crumple up
due to old age. Because rust and corrosion can
quickly spread on an old pipe, replacing the gas line is usually the best solution.

issues today. Our team will handle the necessary repairs or installations for you alleviating you of any worries and giving you peace
