As a licensed home gas line installer and leading provider of pipeline inspections, our commitment to excellence has earned Butler Plumbing, Heating & Gasfitting a reputation for integrity and dedication.
My Gas Line Works Fine! Why Would it Need an Inspection?
Because of their prevalence and exposure to nature, pipelines can get risky, and you would be none the wiser.
Keeping them safe requires regular maintenance and attention; that’s where we come in.
Metal shrinks, swells, corrodes, and vibrates depending on how the weather is outside. Welded joints can lose their structural integrity and strength over the years. Floods, winds, fire, earthquakes, and other phenomena can diminish your gas pipeline’s reliability.
And you don’t want to be there when it decides to give up and rupture.
It’s vital to mitigate the risks by calling on our certified gas line installers for rigorous pipeline inspections.
Natural gas appliances are far less expensive than their electrical counterparts, making gas ideal for heating systems, dryers, and ovens since it heats up fast. However, even a minor gas leak can cause massive explosions and threaten you and your family’s health, safety, and property.
Being exposed to natural gas can lead to poisoning. The symptoms of natural gas poisoning include severe headaches, fatigue, suffocation, and loss of memory and consciousness.
Small leaks also lead to unnecessary expenses since you’ll pay extra money for the gas that you lose through the break. To keep your gas bills from surging, periodic inspections by professional plumbers are a necessity.
At Butler Plumbing, Heating & Gasfitting, your safety comes first. Call now for natural gas service line installation and inspection services you can trust.
Count On Us For Nondestructive Testing Of Gas Pipelines
Gas line installation in Edmonton for new homes must be carried out by licensed mechanical contractors. We complete all the paperwork and submit the permits necessary for home gas line installation.But if we didn’t do the installation, it may be a good idea to call our experts for a thorough inspection.
The trouble is that pipeline problems aren’t always evident in a simple visual inspection. Sure, anyone can spot a fallen tree, a patch of rust, or a twisted beam, but only a professional with an eye for detail can tell you what it means.
Besides, do you really want to wait until the problem has become visible to the naked eye?
No.
It’s better to find emerging issues while they are still restricted to the interior of the pipeline or welds. And for that, we bring along our special scanning equipment.
You can count on our expert technicians to identify any irregularities and flaws in the substrate of the gas pipelines. And once the emerging issues or possible problems are identified, we get to correcting them right away.
Call Now If You Suspect The Following Issues
It’s advisable to get your house’s gas line professionally inspected every four months to avoid gas build-ups or leakages. However, there are clear signs of gas leaks that you can keep a lookout for.
The smell of sulfur: Natural gas is odorless, but suppliers add methyl mercaptan or Methanethiol to it so you can be warned of a leak. Methyl mercaptan smells like rotten eggs, so if you catch a whiff of sulfur, it’s time to contact a gasfitter.
Dead plants: If you’ve been watering your plants as usual, but they’re wilting, it may be time to get an inspection. Natural gas kills plants, especially if they’re located close to the leakage site.
Random dirt on your property: Since gas lines are all underground, the pressure from a gas leak may push soil or dirt up to the surface.
While every neighborhood’s requirements are slightly different, the general rule for homeowners is to obtain permits before replacing or repairing any plumbing, mechanical, gas, or electric systems. At Butler Plumbing, Heating & Gasfitting, we ensure your convenience and take care of all that by handling any permits required.

This is What Happens During a Routine Gas Line Inspection
The first step your gasfitter will take is to detect whether there’s a leak or a fault in the pipe using a pressure gauge test. The gasfitter pumps air into the line in question and uses the pressure gauge to check whether the hand moves or not. If the pressure gauge hand moves, the pipe is the source of the leak.
Once the area is appropriately isolated, they’ll check your gas pipeline fittings for any possible issues. If leakage is detected, they’ll suggest the steps you can take to rectify the problem.
Possible repairs include:
Replacing a length of the pipe
Replacing any faulty fixtures
Applying epoxy to minor faults so that the leak is sealed.
Our professional plumbers have the expertise and knowledge to repair your home’s gas line system. An improperly done repair job could cost you much more money down the line while also adding to your expenses.
