Gas Line Repair

Have you had your gas system tested? Do you know the gas system building codes have changed? Over the past years, the building codes for gas system testing in Houston and Galveston County have changed to compliment the changes that have occurred in appliances along with lifestyles. For example, many home ovens were operated by pilot lights years ago. With today’s technology, automatic igniters now ignite ovens. This causes the gas system to be more exposed to being energized by electricity. This is a BIG hazard. Many homes have gas systems that are not bonded to the actual electrical grounding system. A standard inspection would fail this and demand repair on it as well. By testing your home’s gas pipes, you can be clear of this happening.

Another gas line hazard is rusty gas lines leading to property damage or fires. A regular inspection would find rusty pipes. After finding the rusty pipes, you would be told to get this repaired. Keep in mind, a rusty gas line above ground is the gas company’s full responsibility.
