When natural gas lines in your home have an issue, it’s usually in the form of a leak. Unfortunately, this isn’t something that you can take your time with—you will need to hire a professional immediately. Here are some of the most typical gas leak symptoms to be aware of and alert for in your home.
As the age of your line, Edmonton gas line repair may become a frequent nuisance unless you opt for a replacement. The pipes themselves generally remain quite robust; however, the joints between lengths of pipes can start to leak over time. This has a number of undesirable effects, but only one that really matters: a natural gas leak. Natural gas is flammable and explosive, so it's important to inspect gas lines for any signs of cracks or holes—or even just places that look like they are deteriorating and may crack in the near future. But usually, you won't notice issues visually. Normally, leaks are detected by the smell of natural gas.
Sometimes those tiny cracks or holes can be really difficult—or nearly impossible—to spot just by looking at the line. But, there is an audible clue that facilitates the investigation: hissing noises from appliances or the line itself. If you hear hissing that sounds like air escaping from a very small hole, that’s a big sign your system needs leak repair services. You should shut off the valve immediately and call your licensed professionals for repair services.
The scent of sulfur or rotten eggs is another sign that something is wrong, though that smell does not always indicate gas line issues. If you smell a sulfur odor but don't hear hissing or see any cracks, open windows and check all your major appliances from the basement floor up. For example, the oven or stove could have accidentally been left on after cooking. If that’s all it is, shut off the appliance and let the house air out a bit. But, if you can't find anything unusual happening with your appliances and the smell persists, shut off your gas valve right away and call your licensed technicians.
Our natural gas is odorized with a chemical called mercaptan to make it easier to detect because natural gas is odorless without it. Mercaptan smells like rotten eggs and is hard to miss because we aren't used to that smell being around.
Gas lines are often made of metal piping, and while metal is incredibly durable and long-lasting, it does suffer from rust and other types of corrosion over time. Rust eats away at the metal, thinning it to the point where it eventually creates a leak, and you need repairs. The rate of corrosion is directly tied to the environment the pipes are in. If they are moist, they'll corrode much faster than if they are dry. If you notice signs of rust and corrosion on your gas piping, it's best to get it checked out sooner rather than later—before it causes a major issue.
Is your hot water heater suddenly struggling to produce hot water, you can't seem to get your stove up to the correct temperature, or your heating and cooling system isn't performing well? It could be that a leak is preventing your gas-operated appliances from getting sufficient fuel to function properly and at full power, or maybe the size of the gas line is inadequate. Of course, it could also be that the appliance itself is malfunctioning because of a reason unrelated to fuel supply. But if you notice problems with multiple gas-fueled appliances, such as fireplaces, that are not working very well, then you may need an appointment for Edmonton gas line repairs.

There are a number of reasons why your fuel line may be experiencing a leak, but we won't be able to pinpoint the problem until our team has had a chance to investigate in person and diagnose what exactly is going on. Common causes of leaks include:
They can pose a serious risk to you and your family. Natural gas is flammable and explosive in the right concentrations, so Edmonton gas line repair can't wait. While a faint smell of rotten eggs doesn't require a 911 call, you should be calling out a plumber ASAP. If the smell is strong, we recommend opening your windows and leaving the house until a plumber or gas technician can investigate. We also recommend calling your utility provider to alert them about your emergency situation, although they will be less likely to help you with repairs afterward.
Yes, we do. In Alberta, most plumbers are also certified gas fitters by trade, so we've got you covered! But beware of unlicensed plumbing contractors who don't have an online Google Business presence with genuine reviews.
Absolutely not! Please do not do this. It will not last long, and a leak can have serious consequences for your health and your property’s safety. Even as a temporary measure until a local plumber can get there, duct tape is not an option. If you know you have a leak, the valve that controls the flow into your home should be shut off immediately, and you should open windows to ventilate the house. Then, call a professional for repair.
We hear this question a lot, and in our professional experience, it really depends on the nature of the damage and the pipes' age. If the damage is localized in one small area, Edmonton gas line repairs will likely be sufficient to get it back in a safe, fully functioning condition. But if the line has suffered a great number of damage or it is more than 50 years old, replacement is often more practical, effective, and long-lasting than repairs and saves you more money in the long run.
It's completely understandable that you want to know immediately how much a repair service will cost, but there are too many influencing factors to give you a solid estimate before we have had the opportunity to inspect the line in person. Once we've been out to your house and had a look at the situation, we can offer you an affordable, upfront rate, so you'll know exactly how much it will cost before we begin the work.
The short answer is no. Unfortunately, this is a misconception that homeowners believe they're entirely safe once they have a smoke and CO detector installed in their homes. They're necessary by code, but there's a huge difference between CO and natural gas. CO is a byproduct of incomplete combustion. It's evident in vehicle exhaust, central heating systems, and even when you're burning wood.
On the other hand, natural gas is fuel and more flammable than CO and can cause fires and explosions in more life-threatening ways. Still, CO detectors are essential to have in the event of any appliances that could be malfunctioning and causing burns (i.e., dryer, oven, gas stove, fireplace, water heaters, pool heaters).
Anything in your home that produces energy and is odorless poses a threat to you and your family. By law, the government has to add additives to their natural gas supply so that you would smell rotten eggs in the event of a leak and can take immediate action.
For safety reasons, we recommend getting a detector that will help detect combustible gases that also include methane, butane, propane, and more. Some detectors you can plug in, whereas others are battery-operated, hand-held units equipped with probes. We also recommend installing an exhaust fan in your basement and ensuring your ventilation is in top condition.
