Lake Wales Gas Line Repair
Natural gas is an optimal solution for more than household heating. This abundant energy source allows you to cook indoors and outdoors. It can dry your clothes and provide hot water. In case of power outages during hurricane season, it can keep your backup generator running.
Your local utility is responsible for the pipeline network that delivers gas up to the meter. Beyond the meter, the responsibility for the gas lines shifts to you. This means all the lines running across your home, including the ones installed underground. Repairing these lines and keeping them in good condition is our specialty.
Some of the gas line services we provide include:
- Maintenance
- Code compliance
- Upgrades
- Leak detection
- Installation
- Replacement
Maintenance consists of regular inspections, pressure checks, and corrosion assessments. We check for proper ventilation and optimal connections while looking for issues that can interfere with the flow. The goal is to prevent leaks and obstructions while promoting efficient gas usage.
When we inspect your gas lines, we ensure that they are installed in compliance with state building codes. This includes proper sizing, materials, fittings, connections, and installation. Our inspections ensure that your lines meet safety standards to minimize emergencies such as major leaks. Depending on how old your lines are, we can upgrade sections and fittings so they are compliant.
Detecting gas leaks is the most crucial service we offer. When there’s a faint sulfur-like odor, the leaks are usually minor. When the smell is overpowering and accompanied by hissing or bubbling sounds, there’s a chance of a major leak. You can look at the gas meter and check its reading; if it moves rapidly, you have an emergency. Gas leaks happen because of pipe corrosion, damage, broken fittings, or loose connectors.
We use detection devices and bubble testing kits to spot leaks in pipe sections, fittings, and connections. Depending on the issue, we may replace gas line parts or entire sections.
Our gas line installation services apply to setting up new appliances or piping your home for the utility company. We complete many installations for clients who add new appliances or systems, particularly after hurricanes that cause extended power outages.
This is when you appreciate gas-powered backup generators, stoves, water heaters, and fireplaces. These are the types of upgrades that can boost the value of your property and make it more attractive to prospective buyers.
