Gas Line Repair in San Antonio, TX
If you smell gas, step outside first and call CPS Energy. When it is safe, we locate the leak, fix it and pressure test the line before any appliance relights.
Why this happens
Gas escapes where pipes join and where things move. Threaded fittings, flex connectors behind appliances, rusted pipe, and fittings disturbed by a remodel or by settling. Underground lines can corrode or be struck while digging. Watch for the rotten egg odor, a hissing sound, a patch of dead grass over a buried line, or a gas meter turning with nothing running. Any of these is an emergency.
