Gas Leak Detection In Petaluma, CA

Signs Of A Gas Leak

You may think that your kitchen just smells funny, but if you’re sniffing the odors of rotten eggs, that’s actually a sign of a gas leak. Because natural gas is colorless and odorless, gas companies add a sulfur compound to the gas so you can easily notice a gas leak. Other signs you need gas leak detection service include:

• • Discolored or dead grass or plants near an underground gas pipeline
  • Bubbles in wet areas on your lawn
  • Hissing, whistling, or roaring sounds near a gas-powered appliance
  • Dirt or debris flying into the air near an underground line

Any of these signs mean that you need to call Milano Mechanical for gas line repair – fast!

Gas Line Repiping Installation

Sometimes, though, your Milano Mechanical technician will note that your gas pipes may be in too poor of a condition to repair. We may recommend gas line repiping installation. Repiping is a minimally invasive process to replace broken, outdated, or corroded pipes with new plumbing pipes which allow water or natural gas to smoothly flow into your home’s plumbing system. It’s a thorough process that can preserve your plumbing system for years and significantly reduce the risk of needing an emergency repair.

Many pipes in Petaluma households exhibit noticeable signs that a repiping service is necessary, like:

• Green corrosion on pipes that you can’t clean off
• Cracked or broken pipe fittings that can’t be repaired with normal plumbing techniques
• Black colored spots caused by lead plumbing solder or lead fittings on the pipes

If you have an older home or one with lead piping, then repiping may be necessary to prevent toxic substances from leaching into your home’s water supply. Call Milano Mechanical today for an assessment of your home’s plumbing repiping needs.
