FAQ

Which pipe is best for gas lines?
There are many different kinds of pipe material options available that can be used for gas lines like PEX, galvanized steel, copper, and more. Make sure to get in touch with a licensed plumber to see what materials will work the best in accordance with your plumbing lines and property specifications.
How deep should my gas line be buried?
The type of terrain that you’ll be working with will determine how deep a gas line should be buried. In general, the depth of your pipeline ditch should be about 18-24 inches. It’s essential to check with your local building department for specific code regulations that have to do with the ditch being dug in your area.
Can a gas line and water line be in the same trench?
If you have a joint trench, ie a trench shared with other utilities there will need to be the following: a separation of 12 inches between water and electric lines, 24 inches between sewer and electric lines, 24 inches between gas and electric lines, and 12 inches between communications and electric lines.

What to do When There Are Signs of a Gas Leak

There are several signs to look out for when your gas line is experiencing a leak. You may see floating vegetation around the leak and may hear a whistling noise as well. A pungent odor of rotten eggs will be heavy as odorants are added by gas companies in order to alert residents when gas leaks are present. Gas on its own is naturally without odor so this is a tell-tale sign that a gas leak is present. Other signs you may see are yellowing or dead vegetation near the gas leak. You may start to feel dizzy and have trouble thinking when you breathe in natural gas. Prolonged exposure is very dangerous and can result in death in certain cases. That’s why when you notice something is wrong with your gas lines and you suspect a leak, all occupants must vacate the premises immediately. Don’t even turn off lights or computers as any use in electronics can risk a spark. Only call emergency services when you’re well away from the property. Once safety has been ensured, you may then call your local plumbers for gas line repairs.
