Gas Line Repair

Gas Line Repair For The Pittsburgh Area

If you think you may have a gas leak, evacuate your home and call 911 immediately.

Signs of a gas leak may include the following:

• The aroma of sulfur or “rotten eggs”
• Hissing or blowing sounds from appliances hooked up to the gas line, like gas stoves, or sounds from the gas source itself
• Dead or faded grass, plants or other vegetation
• People inside the home are having symptoms such as nausea, dizziness or fatigue

If you have any of these signs on your property and suspect you may have a gas leak, leave the property now and call 911. The 2nd call you make should be to your utility company.

In some cases, the utility company will fix a gas leak, but in most instances the property owner is responsible. If you’re responsible for the gas line repair, the experts at Taggart Plumbing are fully trained to repair or install gas lines and we pride ourselves on getting the job done properly, and more importantly, safely.

Gas Leak and Carbon Monoxide Safety

As stated before, the first thing you need to do if you are concerned about a gas leak is to evacuate your home and then call 911 promptly. After emergency responders are coming your way, call your utility company.

Once the emergency responders and utility company have made certain there is no danger, call Taggart Plumbing in the Pittsburgh area to schedule a gas line repair, replacement or installation.

Poisonous gases, including natural gas and carbon monoxide, should be taken very seriously. If you’re ever worried about a gas leak or carbon monoxide in your home, ensure you have carbon monoxide detectors installed in your home and call 911 immediately. Unlike natural gas, carbon monoxide doesn’t have a smell and can’t be easily detected.

The EPA recommends the following steps to decrease exposure to carbon monoxide:

• Keep gas appliances properly adjusted.
• Put in and use an exhaust fan vented to outdoors over gas stoves.
• When fireplaces are in use, open flues.
• Have a trained professional inspect, clean and tune up your central heating systems (including flues, chimneys and furnaces) annually and take care of any leaks promptly.

If you suspect you have a gas leak, call 911 immediately. When you’re ready to initiate a repair, contact Taggart Plumbing at (724) 862-5641. We’re ready to serve much of the Pittsburgh area.
