Gas Leak Detection in Erie

A rotten egg smell, hissing near a line, dead plants over a buried pipe or a gas meter that moves with everything off are common leak signs. We isolate sections of the system and use electronic combustible gas detectors to narrow the source. Soap solution confirms leaks at fittings, valves and unions. Once we find the leak, we give you a written repair price before starting.

Many older homes have steel gas lines running from the meter to the house or to a pool heater. Over time the wrap fails and the pipe corrodes, especially where sprinklers keep the soil wet.

Trenching is backfilled and the yard is cleaned up when we are done.
