Gas Test & Repair  For Residential & Commercial

City and municipal codes have specific requirements for re-establishing gas service to a property. That's why we have prepared this information in explanation of the gas test procedure and to better inform our customers. 

WHEN A GAS TEST IS REQUIRED

Your gas system (piping) must be tested by a licensed plumber to determine if a leak exists. If gas service has been discontinued and has been plugged, tagged, or pulled by a municipality then a gas test must also be performed. 

Bottom Line:  Gas service will not be restored by the municipality until a gas test has been completed.

PERMITS & MUNICIPAL CODES

In order to perform a gas test, a permit is required by the municipality in which the residence is located. And all gas appliances as well as any gas outlets at the residence or commercial property must also be inspected to verify that they comply with the municipalities' codes.

Appliances that use gas (water heaters, furnaces, stoves and ovens, fireplaces, gas grills) will need to be inspected and must meet municipality codes. If repairs or upgrades are needed, a flat rate price will be given by your service provider.

TESTING PROCESS

1. 1.)  Testing for leak(s) is done by applying a gage to test the pressure of the system and monitoring the pressure.     2.)  If leaking is detected in the gas system, the next step is to locate the gas leak(s) and make the appropriate repairs.   3.)  The location of the leak(s) and the necessary repairs will be performed on a time and material basis.
