Gas Line Repair in Ravenswood, Chicago
A faint gas smell in the basement, a red tag from Peoples Gas or piping to appliances that are long gone. Our licensed plumbers find leaks, repair the piping and pressure-test it before service is restored. Our office is on Ravenswood Avenue.
Gas Smell in a Ravenswood Home or Two-Flat?
Safety before anything else:
1. Leave and Warn Others
Knock on the other unit's door on the way out.
2. Nothing Electrical
No switches, doorbells or phones inside.
3. Call Peoples Gas or 911
From the sidewalk or across the street.
4. Then Call Us
We repair the piping once it's safe.
When Gas Piping Needs a Plumber
Call us when:
A Smell Near an Appliance
Range, water heater or dryer.
Service Was Shut Off
Repair and pressure test first.
Abandoned Branches
From removed appliances.
Old Connectors
Uncoated brass should go.
Gas Leak Detection
We find gas leaks with electronic detectors and fitting-by-fitting tests, then pressure-test the system to confirm it's tight.
In older Ravenswood homes, leaks often show up at old unions and valves, on branches left from removed appliances and at original meter connections in the basement. After the repair, Peoples Gas can restore service.
Gas Lines in Ravenswood Homes
Gas piping in older homes has been added to many times.
Black Iron Modified Over Decades
Many joints, many chances for leaks.
Two Meters in a Two-Flat
Each unit often has its own meter and piping.
New Ranges on Old Lines
We check sizing before connecting.

Licensed work on old piping.
1. Locate It
Fitting by fitting.
2. Approve the Price
Before we cut or replace.
3. Pressure-Test
So Peoples Gas can restore service.
Gas Repairs in a Building With Two Meters
Most Ravenswood two-flats have a separate gas meter for each unit, and piping that branches out to each unit's stove, water heater and furnace. When Peoples Gas shuts off service, it may be one meter or both. We trace which piping belongs to which meter, find the leak and pressure-test that system, so the right service can be restored and the other unit isn't affected longer than needed.
