How Pipe and Gas Line Repairs Are Completed

When you schedule pipe or gas line service in Ferris, the technician uses moisture meters, thermal imaging, or pressure testing to locate the source of the leak without unnecessary demolition. For slab leaks, electronic detection equipment pinpoints the leak under the concrete foundation, allowing access through the smallest possible opening. Once the damaged section is located, the pipe is exposed and the corroded or cracked section is cut out and replaced with new material that matches or exceeds the original specification.

After the repair is complete, you will notice water pressure returns to normal, wet spots stop spreading, and your water bill drops if the leak was significant. Gas appliances operate safely without odor or flame irregularities, and the system holds pressure without triggering alarms or detectors. Repiping eliminates recurring leaks and the risk of sudden failure in homes with galvanized or outdated plumbing systems.

Gas line work includes running new lines to support appliance upgrades or new installations, repairing damaged sections, and testing all connections for leaks using approved methods. All gas line repairs and installations are completed to meet local codes, and inspections are arranged when required. If full repiping is necessary due to widespread corrosion, the technician will map out the most efficient route for new lines and coordinate the work to minimize disruption.

Questions You May Have Before Moving Forward

Homeowners dealing with hidden leaks or gas line concerns often need reassurance about the process and the safety measures in place before repairs begin. These questions address the most common concerns about pipe and gas line service and what to expect during the work.

How do I know if I have a slab leak?
Signs of a slab leak include warm or wet spots on the floor, the sound of running water when fixtures are off, sudden increases in your water bill, or cracks in the foundation. A pressure test and electronic leak detection can confirm the location and severity.
What happens if a gas line is leaking?
If you smell gas or hear hissing near a gas line or appliance, leave the area immediately, do not use electrical switches or open flames, and call for emergency service. Gas leaks are dangerous and must be repaired before the system is used again.
How long does slab leak repair take?
Slab leak repair typically takes one day, including locating the leak, cutting through the concrete, replacing the damaged pipe section, and patching the floor. Complex repairs or multiple leaks may require additional time.
When should I consider repiping instead of repairing individual leaks?
Repiping is recommended when you have multiple leaks over a short period, visible corrosion throughout the system, or galvanized pipes that are nearing the end of their lifespan. It prevents future failures and reduces the risk of water damage.
What is involved in installing a new gas line?
Installing a new gas line involves running pipe from the main supply to the appliance location, securing the line to code, pressure testing for leaks, and obtaining inspection approval when required. The work is completed with attention to safety and proper sizing for the appliance demand.
