Gas Line Repair in Evanston, IL
A faint gas smell near the range, a red tag from Nicor or old piping to appliances you removed years ago. Our licensed plumbers find leaks, repair the piping and pressure-test it before service is restored. Our Evanston office is on Orrington Avenue, downtown.
Smell Gas in Your Evanston Home?
Do these in order:
1. Get Everyone Outside
Pets too. Don't stop to look for the leak.
2. Leave Switches Alone
Don't turn anything on or off.
3. Call From a Distance
Nicor Gas or 911, away from the house.
4. Call Us for the Repair
Once the utility says it's safe.
When Gas Piping Needs a Plumber
Call us when:
A Smell Near an Appliance
Range, dryer or water heater.
Service Was Shut Off
Repair and pressure test first.
Abandoned Branches
From removed appliances.
Old Flexible 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 Evanston homes, leaks often show up at old unions and valves, on branches left from removed appliances and at fittings near the meter. After the repair, Nicor Gas can restore service.
Gas Lines in Evanston Homes
Gas piping in older homes has often been changed many times.

What Happens When You Call J. Blanton
Licensed, careful and tested.
1. Pinpoint the Leak
With detectors, not guesswork.
2. Price the Repair
You approve before we start.
3. Prove It's Tight
A pressure test before gas returns.
Gas Piping in Older Evanston Homes
In a house that's been updated several times, the gas piping tells the story. You'll often find a branch to a long-gone stove, a line that once fed a gas light or a dryer connection in the wrong room. Each one is a set of fittings that can loosen over time. When we repair a leak, we also look for these abandoned branches and cap them properly, so the system has fewer places to fail.

"Edgar's the man. Not only did he install my water heater, but asked to test the quality of the water to see if that could've lead to the damage and the leak of my last water heater. My water was at a 7 on the hardness scale, and it's supposed to be at 2 or 3. So he reccomends a new water softener, and im thankful that he did. [...]"
