Nobody Handles Gas Line Leaks Like Holloway Plumbing

A natural gas line is a vital part of your home’s comfort, powering everything from your water heater and furnace to your stove. But when that system is compromised, it becomes a serious and costly safety hazard. A gas leak is one of the most critical emergencies a property owner can face, and it demands immediate, professional attention.

Here in Hill Country, our licensed gas plumbers at Holloway Plumbing have the expertise to handle these situations with the urgency and precision they require. We don’t just fix gas lines; we restore your safety and peace of mind. Let’s explore the warning signs of gas line leaks, the immediate steps to take, and how our team solves the problem right.

Warning Signs of a Gas Leak

Natural gas is odorless, so utility companies add a chemical called mercaptan to give it a distinct “rotten egg” smell. This is your primary warning sign.

  • The Smell of Rotten Eggs: This is the most obvious indicator of a natural gas leak.
  • A Hissing or Roaring Sound: A noise near a gas line or appliance could indicate gas escaping under pressure.
  • Dying Vegetation: Patches of dead or dying grass and plants near a gas line can be a sign of an underground leak.
  • Bubbling in Wet Areas: If you see bubbles in puddles or wet ground, gas may be escaping beneath.
  • Physical Symptoms: Unexplained headaches, dizziness, fatigue, or nausea can be symptoms of gas exposure inside the home.

If you experience any of these, follow the safety protocol at the top of this page without delay.

Our Gas Leak Detection and Repair Process

Once the gas utility has shut off the service and cleared your property for entry, our job begins. Holloway Plumbing uses a systematic, code-compliant approach to find and fix gas line leaks for good.

Step 1: Pinpoint Diagnosis

Our licensed gas plumbers use professional-grade tools to confirm the leak’s exact location. This may involve:

  • Pressure Testing: We isolate sections of your gas system and use a manometer to see if the pressure drops, confirming a leak within that section.
  • Electronic Gas Detectors: These sensitive “sniffers” can detect trace amounts of gas in the air, helping us trace the leak to its source.
  • Bubble Solution: Applying a special soap solution to pipe joints and fittings will create bubbles where gas is escaping.

Step 2: Expert Gas Line Repair

With the leak located, we provide a clear, upfront estimate for the repair. Our services cover every aspect of your gas system:

  • Appliance Connector Replacement: We replace old, corroded, or damaged flexible connectors for stoves, dryers, and water heaters.
  • Valve and Regulator Service: We repair or replace faulty shutoff valves and pressure regulators to ensure proper system control.
  • Underground Line Repair: We are equipped to locate and repair or replace leaking gas lines running underground to your home.
  • Code Compliance: We ensure your system, including CSST (corrugated stainless-steel tubing), is properly bonded and grounded to prevent electrical risks.

After every repair, we perform a final pressure test to certify that your system is sealed, safe, and ready for the utility company to restore service. Our team can handle all necessary permits and inspections for your project as well.

It’s important to note that your homeowner’s insurance may cover parts of a gas leak event, but policies vary. We recommend contacting your agent for details. For necessary repairs or system replacements, Holloway Plumbing offers fair pricing and financing options so you never have to compromise on safety.
