Yes, a gas pipe can be repaired, but it must be done with extreme caution and by a licensed professional. Repairing a gas pipe involves identifying the issue, ensuring safety, and properly fixing or replacing the damaged section.
Here’s our simplified gas line repair process:
- Gas Leak Detection: If you’re already detecting signs that your gas pipes are damaged, leave the area immediately, do not use electrical devices or any other objects that could cause ignition, and contact Liquid Tech Plumbing and Heating immediately for the safety of your family or business! Gas leaks can be detected by smell. After contacting us, we are going to perform a thorough gas leak inspection to identify the source and extent of potential damage.
- Simple Gas Line Repair Process: Depending on the extent of gas pipe damage, the gas pipe repair process could include anything from simple fittings tightening or applying pipe joint compound to fix the issue to completely replacing the whole sections by cutting out the gas pipes and replacing them. Any faulty valves or worn-out fittings and corroded or cracked pipes have to be replaced with new ones if the damage cannot be fixed completely.
- Testing and Inspection: Repaired gas piping has to be pressure tested to ensure that repaired pipes are not leaking.
It’s difficult to give an accurate estimate for any gas line services without completing an inspection and identifying what has to be fixed/changed. Sometimes, it’s just a gas pipe that needs to be tightened but sometimes, there are other leaks that have to be fixed, corroded pipes that need to be replaced, and so on. If you would like us to come to your property and inspect your gas line system, please give us a call at 718-728-8324 or fill out the contact form on our website.
Gas leaks can be fixed but the solution is going to depend on the cause of the gas leak. After detecting a gas leak and identifying the cause of the problem, we are going to offer a few options on how we can fix it. This is going to majorly depend on the cause of the gas leak. It could be as simple as tightening the fittings but if your gas pipes are rotted or there are other bigger underlying problems with your gas line system, it’s going to require a more complex solution.
