Why Professional Gas Line Installation Matters

Working with gas lines is never a "DIY" project. Improperly installed pipes can lead to catastrophic leaks or carbon monoxide exposure. In North Brunswick, local building codes require specific permits and inspections for gas work to ensure the safety of the entire community.

Our technicians handle the entire process, including:

• Sizing Calculations: Ensuring the pipe diameter can handle the BTU load of your appliances.
• Material Selection: Using CSST (Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing) or black iron pipe where appropriate.
• Permit Management: Navigating the North Brunswick township building department requirements.
• Pressure Testing: Rigorous testing to ensure there are zero micro-leaks before the gas is turned on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the warning signs that my North Brunswick home has a gas leak?

Safety is paramount. If you notice any of the following, evacuate your home and contact us or your gas utility provider immediately:

• The "Rotten Egg" Odor: Utilities add mercaptan to gas to give it a distinct, unpleasant smell.
• Hissing Sounds: High-pressure leaks often create a whistling or hissing noise near valves or appliances.
• Physical Symptoms: Unexplained headaches, dizziness, or nausea among family members.
• Dying Vegetation: Underground leaks can kill grass or shrubs directly above the gas line.
• Bubbles in Mud: After a North Brunswick rainstorm, bubbles in puddles can indicate a leaking underground line.

How often should I have my home's gas lines inspected?

While gas lines are built for durability, environmental factors like shifting North Brunswick soil or corrosion in older homes can cause wear over time. We recommend a professional inspection:

• Every Two Years: For standard preventative maintenance and safety checks.
• During Renovations: Before finishing a basement or remodeling a kitchen.
• Upon Moving In: If you are purchasing an older home in the Middlesex County area.
• Equipment Upgrades: Whenever you install a high-demand appliance like a tankless water heater or a standby generator.
