Brentwood Gas Line Services

As you might have guessed, gas lines are pipes that transfer gas, usually natural gas, into your home. Your furnace, water heater, or other appliances then use this gas to generate heat. While generally harmless and extraordinarily useful, gas lines in Brentwood have been known to cause serious problems. Among these problems, these four are the most common:

• Hissing Noises: If you notice an unusual hissing noise in your home, it may be the sound of natural gas escaping from your pipes! A leak is the most likely culprit if the sound comes from an area known to have gas lines.
• Rising Utility Bills: A gas leak might be silent, but its effect on your utility bill is always noticeable.
• Gas Leaks: As the gas in your home is very much flammable, a gas leak in your lines could easily result in fires or explosions. While much less severe, gas line leaks also produce an unpleasant smell, not unlike rotten eggs.
• Carbon Monoxide Buildup: As the gas in your home burns, it produces an odorless byproduct known as carbon monoxide. If your ventilation system fails, this gas can flood your home and cause suffocation.

These issues are difficult to identify unless you have the proper equipment. Even more challenging is locating the source of the case. Rather than finding the problem yourself, you should contact one of our professionals who can help you using the latest tools and technology for the job.

Most in-home gas leaks are small, so small that they are practically undetectable. Unfortunately, while these leaks may not have a significant impact on your household, you can be sure that they’re causing your utility bills to rise. Luckily, our Brentwood gas leak detection service can locate even the most minor leaks using an electronic gas analyzer. These devices can notify us of gas flow and concentration fluctuations that help us pinpoint the location of leaks. Once identified, we can move towards repairing the leaks.
