If You Smell Gas
Natural gas has no smell of its own, so gas companies add one that smells like rotten eggs. If you smell it, or hear hissing near a gas line or appliance:
1. Get everyone out of the house, pets included. Don't stop to look for the leak. 2. Leave the light switches alone and don't light anything or start a car in the garage, since a spark can ignite gas. 3. Once you're well away from the house, call 911 or your gas company. 4. Don't go back inside until the fire department or the gas company says it's safe. 5. Then call us at 972-406-8076 to find the leak and repair it.
Other Signs of a Gas Leak
A smell is the usual warning, but there are others. A patch of dead grass over a buried gas line can mean gas is leaking underground. Headaches, dizziness or nausea that ease when you leave the house can be a sign too. A gas bill that climbs with no change in use is worth a call, though it's less urgent than a smell.
Gas Line Repair
We find the leak, repair or replace the damaged section of line and test the system before your gas appliances go back into service. Your plumber will explain what failed and give you the price before the repair starts.
New Gas Lines
We run gas lines for new ranges, dryers, water heaters, fireplaces and outdoor grills. A new line has to be the right size for the appliance and tested before it's used, and we take care of both.
When Can We Come Out?
One customer called us about a gas leak and we were able to come out on very short notice. You can call 972-406-8076 at any hour and a person will answer, but we don't send a plumber out overnight. If you smell gas, get everyone out of the house and call your gas utility or 911 before you call us.
