San Antonio Gas Line Repair

One of the easiest ways to detect if you have a gas line leak in the home is through a strange odor similar to that of a rotten egg smell. If an odor isn’t detected, then a gas leak may exist if you develop headaches or feelings of dizziness. If others in the home are also experiencing headaches, dizziness, or perhaps difficulty breathing, then this could point to a potential gas leak.

Hissing noises coming from a pipe or gas-powered appliances in the home can also indicate that a natural gas leak may exist. Of course, if you have a natural gas leak detector that has detected a problem, it’s important to not delay and contact us as soon as possible. But before doing so, make sure you exit the home immediately.

We at AAA AUGER Plumbing Services® provide 24-hour emergency San Antonio gas repair service and will be able to dispatch our experienced team without delay should you suspect a gas leak at any time of the day or night.

Some leaks are obvious like you can particularly hear them. But others are sneaky and easy to miss. Catching these warning signs early can save you from a lot of trouble and potential danger.

The most common sign is the rotten egg smell. Natural gas doesn’t actually smell like that on its own. They add that scent so you can detect a leak. So, if you suddenly smell something like rotten eggs inside or outside your house, that’s a major red flag. Another thing to listen for is a hissing or whistling sound near your gas lines or appliances. That noise could mean gas is escaping from a damaged pipe or loose connection, and you may have to install a new gas line.

If you notice patches of dead or dying grass or plants in your yard, especially near where your gas lines are buried, that can also be a warning sign. Gas leaks can displace oxygen in the soil, which isn’t good for plants. Inside, watch out for feeling dizzy, nauseous, getting headaches, or feeling extra tired. Those can be symptoms of gas exposure.

If your gas bill spikes for no reason, that could also mean you have a leak somewhere. If you notice any of these signs, get everyone out of the house immediately and call AAA AUGER Plumbing Services® right away. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

We understand that sometimes you want to save a few bucks and handle a home repair yourself. But when it comes to gas lines, that’s a really bad idea. This is one area where DIY is not worth the risk. Trying to repair a gas line yourself is extremely dangerous and can even put your life and the lives of those around you in danger. Natural gas is highly flammable; even a small mistake can cause a fire or a serious explosion. Also, if you don’t do it right, you could end up with a gas leak, which can be the reason for carbon monoxide poisoning, which is a serious health issue.

On top of the safety risks, doing gas line work yourself can also get you into trouble legally and financially. In San Antonio, you usually need permits for gas line work, and it has to be done by a licensed professional. If you try to DIY it and something goes wrong, your homeowner’s insurance might not cover you, and you will be held liable. So, for your own and your family’s safety and to avoid a huge headache later, always call our qualified and licensed gas line experts.
