Signs of a Damaged Gas Line
Below are some common signs that indicate a damaged gas line. If you experience any of these signs, call 911 and Rooter Ranger immediately:
- Smell of Rotten Eggs: Natural gas itself is odorless, but gas companies add a chemical called mercaptan to give it a distinct smell similar to rotten eggs or sulfur.
- Dying Vegetation Near Lines: If there are patches of dead or dying vegetation near your gas lines, it could suggest a leak. Gas escaping from underground lines can kill nearby plants due to its toxic effects.
- Visible Damage: Regularly inspect visible gas lines for any signs of damage, such as corrosion, rust, dents, or cracks. Physical damage to the lines can eventually lead to leaks.
- Hissing or Whistling Sounds: Unusual hissing or whistling sounds coming from the vicinity of your gas lines could indicate a leak. This noise is caused by the gas escaping from a crack or hole in the line.
- Bubbles in Standing Water: If you notice bubbles rising to the surface of standing water near your gas lines, it could be a sign of a leak. Gas escaping from the line can create bubbles as it rises through the water.

Why You Need Professionals to Repair Gas Lines
Though plumbers often receive a reputation for only handling water and sewer pipes, plumbers are also the professionals you can call when you need gas lines installed or repaired. Our dependable plumbers at Rooter Ranger can repair your gas lines correctly, safely, and in compliance with building codes.
Below are some reasons why it’s essential to invest in professional gas line repairs:
- For Your Safety: Our experienced and licensed plumbers can install and repair gas pipes safely and efficiently so you can have peace of mind.
- It’s the Law: Some jurisdictions have laws or codes that require gas pipe installation to be carried out only by licensed professionals.
- For your Appliances: When installing a gas pipe at home, you are likely to consider investing in gas-powered appliances as well. Speak with our plumbers beforehand and let them know the appliances you would like to install.
- To Meet Code: When our licensed plumbing professionals complete your installation, you can be assured that all the lines are installed per city code. City codes are written to ensure safety and are updated with new best practices.
- Insurance Purposes: Most homeowners’ insurance policies won’t cover damages and costs for self-installed gas or electrical problems. You must also consider your liability if a fire occurs.
