Know the Signs

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

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.

Local Knowledge

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.
