Gas Line Repair and Leak Detection in Hinsdale, IL
A faint gas smell in the basement, a red tag on the meter or an old line that once fed a stove that's long gone. Our licensed plumbers locate gas leaks, repair the piping and pressure-test it before service is restored. Our office is on Spinning Wheel Road.
Smell Gas? Here's What to Do
Before anything else:
1. Get Out
Everyone, right away.
2. No Sparks
Don't touch switches, phones or appliances inside.

Nicor Gas or 911.
4. Then Call Us
When it's safe, we'll find and repair the leak.
When Gas Piping Needs a Plumber
Call us when:
You Notice an Odor by an Appliance
Furnace, water heater, range, dryer or fireplace.
The Utility Shut Off Service
A repair and pressure test come first.
There Are Abandoned Lines
Old branches to removed appliances should be capped and tested.
Connectors Are Old or Uncoated
Old brass connectors should be replaced.
Gas Leak Detection
We locate gas leaks with electronic detectors and by testing fittings one at a time, then pressure-test the whole system to confirm it's sealed.
In older Hinsdale homes, leaks often turn up at old unions and valves or on branches that were abandoned when an appliance was removed. Once the repair is made, the full system is tested again so service can be restored.
Gas Lines in Hinsdale Homes
Hinsdale gas piping ranges from early black iron to modern flexible pipe.
Black Iron in Older Homes
The pipe lasts, but unions and valves wear after many decades.
Abandoned Branches
Lines that fed old stoves, lights or space heaters should be properly capped.
Outdoor Kitchens and Fire Features
Lines to grills, fire pits and heaters need correct sizing and protection.
