Gas Service and Distribution

Gas service at your house begins at the gas meter. The gas flows through iron pipes, steel pipes, and poly pipes under ground to your house. Gas may enter your house through the basement or crawl space and go up into your attic in iron pipes. In the attic the pipes may supply gas to a furnace and a water heater. The example we are showing here is the gas service and distribution in a typical residence with a slab foundation. In other types of structures the gas service lines may be under the floors. After the gas piping enters the attic it drops down in iron pipes inside the walls to provide service to ranges, dryers, water heaters, furnaces, and fireplaces. With this complex system of piping, pipe fittings, valves, and appliances, there is always a potential for a gas leak.

Did you know, your local Gas Company does not repair gas leaks within your home?

After you have discovered you have a gas leak and our technician arrives at your house, his first challenge is to locate the leak. This may require  crawling in the  attic or crawl space and sometimes removing wall paneling, If the leak is not easily found  we may have to perform a pressure test.  To do this we will attach a nitrogen bottle at the meter and pressurize the gas line to 50 PSI After our technician locates the gas leak, he will use the illustrations above and make a recommendation on the best type of repair. These types of repairs usually require replacing, some piping, fittings, and/or valves.

Very  Very important:

Natural gas is odorless. However, gas companies add a "rotten egg" smell that usually can be easily detected when gas leaks. If you smell natural gas or suspect a gas leak, it is important to act quickly:

Leave the premises immediately, opening doors and extinguishing all open flames.
