Emergency Steps to Take When You Notice a Gas Line Issue
If you suspect a gas leak or gas line problem, acting quickly can protect your family and your home. Follow these steps right away.
- Do not turn any lights, appliances, or switches on or off, as any spark can ignite gas that has built up in the area.
- Leave the building immediately and bring everyone with you, including pets.
- Avoid using your phone or any electronic device until you are safely away from the property.
- Do not attempt to locate the leak yourself or shut off any valves unless you have been trained to do so.
- Call 911 and your gas provider from a safe distance to report the issue.
- Once the situation is declared safe, call Andersen Plumbing, Heating and AC Repair to inspect and repair the line before resuming normal use.
Gas leaks can escalate quickly, so never wait to see if the problem resolves on its own.
Signs You Need Gas Line Repair
Gas line problems are not always obvious, but there are warning signs you can watch for. If you notice any of the following, contact a licensed technician as soon as possible.
- You smell rotten eggs or sulfur near your appliances, basement, or along exterior walls.
- You hear a hissing or whistling sound near a gas line, appliance, or meter.
- Your gas appliances are running inefficiently, producing lower heat output than normal, or failing to ignite.
- You notice dead or discolored patches of grass or plants above your underground gas line.
- Your gas bill has gone up without any change in usage patterns.
- You see visible damage to gas pipes, such as corrosion, rust, or physical cracks.
Aurora winters are tough on home systems, and temperature fluctuations can cause pipes and fittings to shift and expand over time. If your gas lines are aging or were installed before current safety codes, having them inspected regularly is a smart move.
Common Gas Line Problems
Gas lines can run into several issues, especially in older homes or after significant weather events. Some of the most common problems we see include the following.
- Corrosion and rust that weaken the pipe wall and eventually lead to cracks or leaks
- Improper installation from past repairs or DIY work that does not meet current code requirements
- Shifting soil or ground movement that puts stress on buried lines, which is especially common in areas with freeze-thaw cycles like Aurora
- Aging materials in older homes where outdated pipe materials have deteriorated over time
- Loose or failing connections at joints, valves, or appliance hookups that allow gas to escape
Damage from excavation or construction work near buried lines

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a gas leak?
The most common sign is the smell of rotten eggs or sulfur near a gas line or appliance. You may also hear a hissing sound or notice higher than normal gas bills. If you suspect a leak, leave the building and call for help right away.
Is gas line repair something I can do myself?
No. Gas line repair should only be performed by a licensed technician. Attempting to repair a gas line without the proper training and equipment puts you and everyone in your home at risk.
How long does gas line repair take?
The timeline depends on the type and location of the problem. Minor repairs can often be completed in a few hours, while more extensive replacements may take longer. Your technician will give you an estimated timeframe after assessing the issue.
How often should gas lines be inspected?
Having your gas lines inspected every few years is a good general guideline, though older homes or properties with a history of issues may benefit from more frequent checks. Aurora’s seasonal temperature swings can accelerate wear on gas line materials, making regular inspections especially worthwhile.
Does Andersen Plumbing, Heating and AC Repair offer emergency gas line service?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency service for gas line issues throughout Aurora, IL. Do not wait to call if you think there is a problem with your gas line.
