Gas Line Repair in Highland Park, IL
Something broke, corroded or started leaking. We find it, fix it and pressure-test the line to confirm it holds. Our plumbers are licensed for gas work and serve homes across Highland Park and the North Shore.
What to Do If You Smell Gas
A gas smell is one situation where waiting is not an option.
1. Leave Immediately
Don't stop to grab belongings, and don't switch any lights or electronics on or off.
2. Call From Outside
Once you're outside, call your gas utility or 911 to report it. Don't go back in until the area has been cleared.
3. Then Call Us
Once it's safe, call a licensed plumber to locate and fix the source. We'll find it and repair it.
Warning Signs of a Gas Line Problem
Corrosion is slow. But when it catches up, these are some of the signs:
A Rotten Egg or Sulfur Smell
Even a faint smell of rotten eggs indoors is worth taking seriously.
Hissing or Whistling
A hissing sound near a gas line or appliance can mean gas escaping from a fitting or pipe.
Dead Patches in the Yard
Dead or discolored grass above a buried gas line can point to a leak underground.
A Higher Gas Bill
A gas bill that's higher than normal with no change in usage can mean gas is going somewhere it shouldn't.
Gas Leak Detection
Finding the leak is the first step of every gas line repair. We locate leaks with pressure testing and gas detection equipment, checking the line from the meter to each appliance, including fittings, valves and connectors that are easy to miss.
If you've noticed a faint smell, a higher bill or a hissing sound but can't find the source, a leak check tells you what's going on before it turns into an emergency. If the smell is strong, leave first and call your gas utility or 911 from outside.
Gas Line Problems in Highland Park Homes
The median Highland Park home was built in 1963, and about 1 in 4 went up before 1940. Gas piping ages along with the house.
Original Black Iron Piping
Many older homes still run on original black iron or steel gas piping. Corroded fittings and old valves fail slowly, and a leak can go unnoticed for a long time.
Repair or Replace the Run
A single failed fitting is a repair. When the pressure test and inspection show widespread corrosion, replacing the run can save you from chasing one leak after another. We'll explain both before you decide.
