Gas Line Repair in Arlington Heights, IL
A faint gas smell near the furnace, a failed pressure test or an old line that needs replacing. Our licensed plumbers find gas leaks, repair the line and pressure-test it before we leave. From our office on East Central Road.
If You Smell Gas
Do this first:
1. Get Everyone Out
Leave the house right away. Don't stop to open windows.
2. Don't Touch Switches
No lights, phones or anything that could spark inside the house.
3. Call From Outside
Call Nicor Gas or 911 from outside, away from the house.
4. Then Call Us
Once the utility says it's safe, we'll find and repair the leak.
Signs Your Gas Line Needs Attention
Call when you notice:
A Rotten Egg Smell
Utilities add the smell so you notice a leak. Never ignore it.
A Hissing Sound
Near a gas appliance or line, it can mean gas is escaping.
Appliances Not Working Right
A weak or yellow flame on the stove or water heater can point to a supply problem.
Old Flexible Connectors
Uncoated brass connectors from decades ago can crack and should be replaced.
Gas Leak Detection
If you suspect a small leak or the utility has shut off service and asked for repairs, we find the exact source. We use electronic gas detectors and soap tests on fittings and pressure-test the system to confirm it's sealed.
Most leaks we find are at fittings, valves and appliance connectors rather than in the pipe itself. Once it's repaired, we test the full system before the gas comes back on.
Gas Lines in Arlington Heights Homes
Most homes in Arlington Heights were built between 1940 and 1989, and many still have original gas piping.
Old Black Iron Pipe
Black iron gas pipe lasts a long time, but threaded joints can loosen and valves can wear over 50 to 80 years.
Outdated Appliance Connectors
Old uncoated flexible connectors behind ranges, dryers and water heaters can crack. We replace them with modern coated connectors.
Added Appliances Over the Years
Lines extended for a new range, dryer or grill aren't always done right. We check how they were connected and sized.

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."
