Gas Line Repair in York, PA: FAQs
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the house right away and take everyone with you. Do not turn lights on or off, use your phone inside, start a car in an attached garage, or light anything. From a safe distance outside, call your gas company's emergency number or 911. After they make the home safe, call us to repair the gas line.
Why does natural gas smell like rotten eggs?
Natural gas has no smell on its own. Gas companies add a chemical called mercaptan so people can notice a leak. If you smell rotten eggs near a gas appliance or pipe, treat it as a gas leak.
Can you run a gas line for my new stove or dryer?
Yes. We install gas lines and shut-off valves for gas ranges, dryers, water heaters, fireplaces and outdoor grills, and connect the appliance with a new connector.
Do I need a bigger gas line for a tankless water heater?
Often, yes. Gas tankless water heaters use a lot of gas at once, and many older homes have gas pipes sized for a tank heater. We check your gas line size and upgrade it if needed.
What is a sign of a gas leak besides the smell?
A hissing or whistling sound near a gas line or appliance, dead plants above a buried gas line, bubbles in standing water outside, or a pilot light that keeps going out can all point to a leak. If you suspect a leak, leave and call the gas company.
Why is my gas burner flame yellow instead of blue?
A healthy gas flame is mostly blue. A yellow or orange flame can mean the burner is dirty or not getting enough air, which can produce carbon monoxide. Clean the burner if you can, make sure your CO alarms work, and have the appliance checked if it does not go back to blue.
Do I need to call 811 before digging?
Yes. In Pennsylvania, you must contact PA One Call by dialing 811 before you dig, so underground gas, water and electric lines are marked. This protects you and the lines in your yard.
What if a gas problem leaves my house without heat in winter?
Your safety comes first, so leave the gas off until the line is repaired. A house without heat cools fast in winter, so open cabinet doors under sinks and let faucets drip. Check how cold it will get tonight with our free pipe freeze checker.
