Gas Line and Gas Pipe Replacement
Gas lines can develop leak problems for a number of reasons. Leaks in gas pipes can be caused from two main things:
- Rust or corrosion that causes the pipes to either rupture or leak.
- Existing pipes were not installed correctly.
- If you discover gas line leaks, you will most likely need to replace your gas pipes or a section thereof.
Signs of a Gas Leak
Detecting gas leaks is difficult, but you should pay attention to any grass or flowers along your gas line. Specifically, look for discolouration in your grass or any other type of vegetation in the area. You may also be able to smell a leak. There is a smell of “rotten egg” to it which can help in leak detection. If you begin to smell this you will need to contact a local technician to investigate the issue and possibly replace your gas lines.

A gas leak is not cheap to fix. Also, if you have lines that are under sprinkler systems, sidewalks, trees or paved surfaces the cost can be a bit more expensive than regular.

- Dig to where the line has been placed.
- Replace the line through trenching or insertion (depending on your situation).
- Test the new line to make sure it doesn’t leak.
- If the line passes inspection, clean up commences.
