Signs You Need Your Gas Line Repaired
It is important to keep a careful eye out for the state of your gas lines. Because gas line leaks are so dangerous, any suspicious signal must be treated with utmost caution. Reach out to our dedicated team if you notice any potential warning signs, so that we can immediately repair your lines from further damage.
Some critical signs of a gas leak include:
Sulfuric odors or smells like rotting eggs – Because gas has no natural smell, gas companies have placed a critical additive inside it so that if it escapes, you will be able to smell an odor like sulfur. This should alert you to contact our team at once.
Odd sounds like hissing or squealing – When the line has ripped or has suffered a tear, this rupture is often accompanied by hissing or squealing as the gas escapes, similar to the sound a punctured balloon might make.
Decaying vegetation and grass – Even if a line is leaking below the surface, it will often make any surrounding plant life die off.
When to Get Gas Line Replacement Instead of Repairs
Although gas line repairs are an excellent tactic to take if your lines are not very old and are only experiencing minor issues, there are times when gas lines should be completely replaced. If your lines have been in place for several years, particularly if they have been malfunctioning a lot recently, it is much more efficient and cost-effective to simply install new lines, instead of wasting your savings on repeated repairs. Alternatively, however, if you are adding a section to your home or remodeling it from the ground up, this is often an ideal time to replace the gas lines. Any switch of fuel sources, such as from oil to gas, will also necessitate such critical updates to your lines. You can rely on our experienced contractors to complete the job safely and effectively.
What to Do in a Gas Line Emergency
If a line is leaking, it is tremendously dangerous to you and your family. Gas lines that are not dealt with immediately can lead to dangerous fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, and even residential explosions. The minute that you know your gas line is malfunctioning, open the windows and doors, and make sure that you and all family members and pets are moved out of harm’s way. Then get in contact with our team at Amy Home Services so we can get to work on fixing your line.
We needed our kitchen faucet replaced and I called Amy's, they came within ten minutes. Brad was very professional and quick. I will definitely use them in the future for our plumbing needs.

"This past week was kind of a doozie, but all three employees that came through to deal with it were awesome!"
We've used Amy for two fairly major plumbing jobs over the past few years. This past week was kind of a doozie, but all three employees that came through to deal with it were awesome! They tried so hard to fix it with the least amount of damage to our walls, even going out and buying a tool to try to make it work. All three were polite, courteous and professional. We will definitely be coming back for future home needs. Thank you!!!

"Great customer service."
Great customer service. Arrived on-time and completed the job as expected with no unnecessary additional costs. The office even did a follow-up call the next day to ensure that everything was operational. I would recommended Amy Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling, Inc. to anyone in the NW suburbs looking for reliable plumbers.
