Common Issues with Gas Lines
Gas Leaks
Gas leak detection is critical, and it’s important you know the signs of a gas leak. The biggest one is the smell of sulfur. Gas companies put an additive in their gas so that sulfur smell can let you know you have a gas leak. If you smell that, leave your house and turn off the gas immediately.

Old Age
Your gas lines have a long useful lifespan. In most cases, gas lines are good for a minimum of 30 years and often well beyond that. Eventually, though, they break down. The pipes themselves may still be fine, but your fittings can decay more rapidly than the pipes, causing leaks.
