Common Mistakes During Gas Line Installation

When it comes to how to install gas lines, even small missteps could have disastrous consequences. From leaks to fires and carbon monoxide poisoning, incorrect installation puts both your family and home at risk. Good Clean Plumbing is here to help keep you safe!
Below are some of the most common mistakes homeowners make when it comes to the proper installation of gas lines and how our licensed professionals can help you avoid them.
Using the Wrong Materials
Think all piping materials are created equal? Think again! Using the wrong materials can mean having gas lines that corrode or fail under pressure. Our certified plumbers use only approved, high-quality materials to ensure the safety and longevity of your gas lines.
Not Properly Testing for Leaks
Even the smallest leak can be dangerous when it comes to gas lines. Many installations fail because the gas line installer doesn’t conduct proper testing, whether due to a lack of experience or not having the professional-grade equipment needed to get the job done.
When you work with our plumbers to install gas lines, rest assured, those lines will be put to the test! That includes rigorous leak detection procedures to ensure every connection is airtight.
Installing the Wrong Line Size
The appliances in your home have very specific gas line sizing requirements. Using the wrong ones can lead to low pressure, inefficient performance, or the appliance breaking down.
Here at Good Clean Plumbing, we’ll assess your home’s gas usage, the needs of your appliances, and install correctly-sized lines that help protect the health of the appliance and the safety of your home.
Incorrect Placement
A gas line that’s in the wrong spot or has an incorrect route not only puts your safety at risk but also violates building codes.
Our plumbers that install gas lines can identify the safest and most efficient placement for them within your home. Work with us from the get-go to bypass safety concerns and building code headaches.
Lack of Permits
Since we’re on the topic of building codes, another big mistake homeowners make during gas line installations is forgetting to obtain the proper permits or conduct inspections once the work is complete. If you don’t have approval for the work, you could face hefty fines or even legal issues.
