Have you Been Inspected for Gas Leaks?

Don’t go there!  We are talking about the gas lines that run to your appliances.  How often should you have your gas lines checked by a professional?   Gas line problems can create a wide range of issues that every homeowner wants to avoid.  If you’re a homeowner in Central Illinois, it’s a good idea to have your gas lines checked by a plumbing company every year.

Here is a tip that we hope will help…keep track of your monthly natural gas costs.  Then be on the lookout for any unexplainable increases in cost.  A jump in your gas bill could simply mean your heating needs have increased, however it could also indicate the presence of a gas leak or another issue with the gas line.

Gas line leaks are a potentially dangerous business and should always be inspected by a plumbing professional.  In Morton, East Peoria, Pekin and the surrounding area around Peoria that pro is Dave Bailey…the owner of Dave Bailey Plumbing.  Dave cures gas!  We mean gas leaks in your home.  Just call (309) 265-6788.

Frozen Gas Lines.

That sounds ominous, doesn’t it?  We tend to see more gas leaks in the winter because of the extensive freezing and thawing of the ground in Central Illinois.  It is also more difficult to excavate our home’s pipes when the area around them is frozen and, the obvious, it is harder to work when the weather is harsh.

The danger occurs when natural gas leaks because it is flammable, which means that if there's a flame or even a spark in the area of a leak, it could cause a fire or explosion.  A gas leak can happen if a gas pipe is damaged, like if someone is digging a hole and accidentally breaks an underground gas line.
