Gas Line Services in Winston-Salem, NC
In this part of the country, natural gas is a convenience for many homeowners. It is what powers the water heater and dryer, the range and fireplace in the kitchen, or even an outdoor grill. Yet it is something that demands proper care in terms of installation, maintenance and repair. Whether you need a line put in, a problem mended or a suspected leak diagnosed, the pros at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Triad have you covered for your home or business.
We are here to service an existing system, swap out old piping or put in new appliances. Our goal is to deliver a gas system that is safe and efficient without any undue risk.
New Appliances and Gas Line Installation
An addition such as a generator, tankless water heater or new gas range will place more of a demand on your system. It is important to confirm the existing setup can take it. Our installers are not in the habit of simply running pipe from point A to B. They put some thought into the job and plan the work accordingly, be it to modify an old line or find the best way to route a new one, in order to give the unit the fuel supply it needs.
When to Call for a Repair
Any problems with your gas lines should be given the attention they deserve. Piping is prone to damage and corrosion as the years go by, and in an older home you might want to have a plumber take a closer look at the original work when undertaking a remodel. We know what to look for in the way of warning signs, be it rust or a hissing from the appliance, or that distinct rotten egg smell which is natural gas’s signature. Even vegetation dying off next to an underground line is cause for concern.
Should you have any misgivings about a leak, get out of the area. Escaping gas presents both a health and fire risk, so do not try to make repairs on your own. Put some distance between yourself and open flames and put in a call to 911 or the utility. A plumber can be on hand to detect and inspect the problem once the situation is secure.
The Local Terrain and Older Homes
Forsyth County has its share of clay-rich soil typical of the Piedmont. As the NC State Extension would confirm, these fine soils can put stress on what is buried when they expand with moisture or contract in the dry. Add in the weather, tree roots and general landscaping wear and tear. In West End or Ardmore, the age of the home is often a factor in itself. We have noted the plumbing issues that can arise with aging pipes in those neighborhoods on our service page, so an inspection before you reconfigure a space or begin a renovation is wise.
Permits and Code
You will not find this to be an ordinary DIY project. The rules are clear from the state and local level. The Inspections Division in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County will review the work under the applicable codes and issue the permits, which even itemize the number of gas outlets. Pressure testing and an inspection are usually required by code prior to use, making a professional’s involvement a necessity.
Serving the Piedmont Triad
Our clients in Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point and Kernersville call on us for everything from replacing an old line to leak detection. We enjoy working in this part of the state with its history and good mix of open spaces and restaurants. You can have a nice patio meal at Muddy Creek Café in the historic district or at The Porch Kitchen & Cantina downtown, and the climate is mild enough for it most of the year. Old Salem is well worth a visit as well.
