Gas Line Services in Pinckney, MI

The main sign is a rotten egg smell added to natural gas. Other signs include hissing sounds, bubbling in puddles near gas lines, dead plants outdoors, unusually high gas bills, and symptoms like headaches or dizziness when inside. If you notice these signs, leave immediately and call emergency services from outside, then contact us for repairs once the area is safe.

For most Pinckney homes, we recommend yearly professional inspections. Older homes with original gas pipes may need checks every 6-9 months as materials can wear out faster. New homeowners should schedule an initial inspection to understand their system’s condition. Regular checks catch small issues before they become dangerous.

If you smell gas or notice other signs, get everyone (including pets) out immediately without using any electrical devices or switches that could create sparks. Leave doors open to help air out the space. Once safely outside, call 911 and your gas company from a mobile phone or neighbor’s house. Don’t return until emergency responders say it’s safe, then call us for repairs.

Yes, when professionally installed. Our technicians ensure proper materials for outdoor exposure, correct burial depth for underground lines, and appropriate connections for all outdoor appliances. We follow Pinckney building codes specifically for outdoor gas applications and perform thorough testing to verify system integrity. Professional installation eliminates the risks associated with DIY attempts and provides reliable, safe operation for your outdoor living spaces.

For Pinckney homes, we primarily use black iron pipe for interior gas lines due to its durability and fire resistance. For underground installations, we use specialized yellow polyethylene (PE) pipe designed specifically for gas applications. Flexible corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) may be used for certain applications where appropriate, though local codes and installation requirements vary. All materials we use meet strict safety standards and Pinckney building code requirements.

Absolutely. Proper venting is critical for gas appliances to prevent carbon monoxide buildup in your Pinckney home. Different appliances have specific venting requirements—furnaces typically need direct venting to the outside, while gas stoves may require range hoods. When installing new gas appliances, we evaluate your home’s existing ventilation and make necessary adjustments to ensure safe operation. This may include installing new vents, improving existing ventilation, or recommending carbon monoxide detectors in strategic locations.
