Gas Line Repair in Joliet, IL
A gas smell in the basement, a hiss at an old fitting or a gas bill that jumped. We find the leak, repair it and pressure-test the line before we leave. Our plumbers are licensed for gas work and serve Joliet from our office on Ottawa Street.
What to Do If You Smell Gas
Leave first, then call.
1. Everyone Outside
Leave the doors open behind you if it's on the way, and leave switches and appliances alone.
2. Nicor Gas or 911
Make the call from the sidewalk or a neighbor's house, not from inside.
3. We Handle the Repair
Once the utility gives the all-clear, we track down the leak and fix it.
Warning Signs of a Gas Line Problem
Watch for:
A Rotten Egg Smell
Even faint, it's worth checking.
A Hiss
Near a fitting, valve or appliance connector.
Brown Grass Over a Buried Line
Can point to an underground leak.
A Bill That Jumped
Usage didn't change, but the bill did.
Gas Leak Detection
Every repair starts with finding the leak. We pressure-test the system and use gas detection equipment from the meter to each appliance, including old valves and fittings in the basement that are easy to miss.
If you've noticed a faint smell or a higher bill but can't find the source, a leak check tells you what's going on. If the smell is strong, get out and call Nicor Gas or 911 from outside first.
Gas Line Problems in Joliet Homes
Joliet's oldest homes have the oldest gas piping in the area, and it shows.
Old Piping in Older Homes
Homes built before 1940 may have gas piping that's been added to and patched many times. Old fittings and valves corrode and leak slowly.
Old Appliance Connectors
Older flexible connectors behind ranges, dryers and water heaters crack with age. They're among the most common leaks we fix.
Repair or Replace the Run
A single bad fitting is a repair. Widespread corrosion means replacing the section. We'll explain both.

"Communication, information and installation went great. Price was very competitive. Shane explained everything extremely well and Alex installed hot water tank beautifully. Shortly after Alex left a gas leak from an old valve on the piping to the tank occurred and needed to be replaced, Alex came back same night and fixed it. This is a 5-Star company."

Gas Line Questions From Joliet Homeowners
Older piping has more fittings and more years of corrosion, so it's worth a check.
Not always, but homes built before 1940 often have gas piping that's been extended and patched over the decades, with more fittings that can corrode. If you smell gas now and then, or your home has never had its gas piping checked, a leak check is worth it.
Pressure testing and gas detection equipment, from the meter to each appliance.
We pressure-test the system and use gas detection equipment from the meter to each appliance. See gas leak detection.
No. Gas line work should be done by a licensed pro.
No. Gas line work should be done by a licensed pro. A fitting that looks tight can still leak, which is why every repair gets a pressure test.
We look first and give you a flat rate before any work.
It depends on what we find: one loose connector is a small job, a corroded run in an old basement is a bigger one. A licensed plumber looks at it in person and quotes a flat rate before any work, and that number holds.
