Know the Signs

Signs Your Gas Line Needs Attention

Call us when:

A Faint Smell Near Appliances

Water heater, furnace, range or dryer.

A Red Tag From the Utility

Service stays off until the piping is repaired and tested.

You're Adding Gas Appliances

Outdoor kitchens and fire pits strain older layouts.

The Grill Line Is Buried

Underground lines can leak out of sight.

Gas Leak Detection

Gas Leak Detection

If you suspect a small leak or the utility shut off service, we find the source with electronic detectors and soap tests, then pressure-test the system to confirm it's sealed.

In newer homes, most leaks are at appliance connectors, flexible lines and fittings added after construction. Once repaired, we test the whole system so service can be restored.

Local Knowledge

Gas Lines in Algonquin Homes

More than half of Algonquin homes were built between 1990 and 2009, and many gas systems have been added to.

Outdoor Kitchens and Fire Pits

Patio gas lines are popular here. A buried line that wasn't installed right can leak.

Flexible Gas Tubing

Many 1990s and 2000s homes use flexible gas tubing in places. It needs proper bonding and protection.

Connectors Behind Appliances

Old connectors from the original range or dryer should be replaced when the appliance is.

The J. Blanton Difference

What Happens When You Call J. Blanton

Gas work done right, then tested.

1. Licensed Plumbers

Gas line work should be done by a licensed pro. Ours are licensed and trained for it.

2. Price Before Work

We find it, then quote it.

3. Pressure-Tested

Before the gas comes back on.

"Communication, information and installation went great. Price was very competitive. Shane explained everything extremely well and Alex installed hot water tank beautifully. Shortly after Alex left a gas leak from an old valve on the piping to the tank occurred and needed to be replaced, Alex came back same night and fixed it. This is a 5-Star company."
