Know the Signs

Warning Signs of a Gas Line Problem

Watch for these:

A Faint Rotten Egg Smell

Especially near the furnace, water heater, range or dryer.

A Hiss at a Connector

Flexible connectors behind appliances are a common leak point.

A Gas Bill That Jumped

Usage didn't change, but the bill did.

A Pilot That Won't Stay Lit

Sometimes a supply problem, sometimes a leak upstream.

Gas Leak Detection

Gas Leak Detection

Every gas repair starts with finding the leak. We pressure-test the system and use gas detection equipment from the meter to each appliance, including valves, fittings and flexible connectors behind ranges and dryers.

If you've noticed a faint smell or a higher bill but can't find the source, a leak check gives you an answer before it turns into an emergency. If the smell is strong, get out first and call Nicor Gas or 911 from outside.

Local Knowledge

Gas Line Problems in Tinley Park Homes

Most Tinley Park homes were built between 1970 and 2009, and their gas piping is mostly sound. The weak spots are usually at the appliances.

Aging Appliance Connectors

Flexible connectors on ranges, dryers and water heaters wear out and crack, especially if the appliance has been moved. They're one of the most common leaks we fix.

Shutoff Valves That Won't Close

Original appliance shutoffs from the 1980s and 1990s can stick or leak when turned. We replace them during the repair.

One Leak or Many

A single bad fitting is a quick repair. If testing shows several, we'll explain whether replacing a section makes more sense.
