Gas lines corrode over time just like water pipes. Older black iron pipe rusts from the inside when moisture enters the system. Corroded sections develop pinhole leaks that let gas escape into walls and living spaces. New construction and major renovations require complete gas system pressure testing before turning on appliances. The test confirms no leaks exist anywhere in the system under operating pressure. Failed tests mean finding and fixing every leak before gas service gets restored. Licensed plumbers handle gas repiping and testing because mistakes with gas systems cause explosions and deaths.
We replace corroded gas lines and install new systems for home additions or converted heating systems. Black iron pipe and corrugated stainless steel tubing both meet code requirements depending on application. Every joint gets tested individually during installation and the entire system undergoes pressure testing before final inspection. Gas pressure gauges measure system integrity over time periods specified by local codes. Soap solutions applied to connections reveal even tiny leaks that pressure gauges miss. Licensed Master Plumber certification means understanding gas pressure requirements, proper pipe sizing for appliance BTU demands, and testing procedures that meet inspector standards.
Never skip gas pressure testing after any work on gas systems. Uninspected repairs and additions risk gas leaks that build up undetected. We serve Jacksonville, Tyler, and East Texas with gas repiping and testing that prioritizes safety.
