Emergency Gas Line Repair | Des Plaines, IL
Have you ever wondered, “Who fixes gas lines in my area?” Any gas line under 3 inches in diameter is typically repaired by plumbers. Residential homes and small business properties fall into this category. Gas line repairs require specialized skills and equipment, which is why it’s crucial to hire licensed professionals to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.
If you smell gas in your home, the first thing you should do, if it is safe, is turn off the gas supply to the house. This is usually located near the meter outside. Evacuate the premises immediately and avoid using any electrical devices, as even a small spark could ignite the gas.
If you’re inside the home, do not use any appliances with open flames, such as the stove. Avoid lighting matches or smoking until the leak has been properly handled. Ventilate the area by opening windows and doors if possible, but prioritize your safety by leaving the property as soon as you detect the odor of gas.
Call your gas company immediately. They will send a technician to identify and tag the leaks. In the meantime, contact a licensed gas line repair plumber to assess and fix the issue.
