If you suspect a gas leak, call the gas company immediately. As a safety precaution, a sulfur-like odor is added to natural gas to help people identify gas leaks. If you smell this odor, leave the building while you wait for the gas company to arrive. Your gas line will be turned off immediately to ensure the safety of the building's occupants and to prevent damages or injuries.
McNabb Pluming can repair any damages and get your gas turned back on. Emergency service is available for leaking gas line testing, gas leak detection and repair.
Gas Leak Testing
A gas leak test can be performed to determine if the gas system is leaking. We test your gas system by using a special pressure gauge on the gas riser at the meter, then pump air into the entire gas system. Our registered plumbers will test the entire gas system, which includes both the yard service and house service. In most new homes, we can also take the gas line apart at the house and pressure test the home only for gas leaks.
Gas Leak Detection
McNabb Plumbing can detect gas leaks, using several different methods. We can isolate the leak to the house or yard in most cases by shutting the gas off to the house at the shut off valve. If a gas leak is determined to be in the yard service, we can check a few fittings with soap bubbles to check for escaping air, however if those fittings are not leaking, it will then be necessary to replace the entire yard service to repair the leak. If the leak is found to be in the house, we can again use soap bubbles to check for air leaks on the gas lines. Once the leak is located inside the house we will be able to recommend the best options for repairs or replacement.
Gas Leak Repair or Gas Line Replacement
In many cases, repairs will require that a permit is issued. This is to ensure the safety of you and your neighbors. The local inspector and the gas company both will verify no leaks remain after repairs are made by your licensed Pittsburgh plumbing contractor. Once the permit has been issued, or if it is determined a permit is not necessary, we can begin the necessary procedures in repairing the gas leak. If a permit is required, some municipalities require that the entire gas system be brought up to current building code standards, if this is necessary, this will also be done during the repair stage. Once the repair and possible code upgrades are completed, we will call in for an inspection with the gas company, and they will promptly schedule a day to come and inspect the work.
