Reasons to Have Your Home’s Fuel Piping Inspected

When was the last time you had a fuel piping inspection in Oak Ridge, NC? Natural gas is a safe and efficient way to power your home or business as long as everything works properly. Learn more below about some of the reasons you should have your home’s fuel lines inspected by a qualified service technician.

You’ve Never Had an Inspection Done

You should schedule fuel piping inspections annually. Still, many people have never had one done for many reasons. The most common reason is people don’t realize they should have an inspection done. Many people believe that as long as they don’t smell gas or their gas-powered appliances work there’s no cause for concern. However, that’s not entirely the case.

You can’t always know if there’s a gas leak. While gas companies add a chemical to the gas that produces a rotten egg smell, sometimes a gas leak is so tiny you don’t smell it. You might not hear hissing coming from the line either, which is another common sign of a gas issue. Yearly inspections make sure the fuel pipes in your home aren’t damaged and secure.

You Recently Bought a Home

When you purchase a new home, you typically have a house inspection. However, a general inspection doesn’t necessarily check the fuel piping since this is a more specialized inspection. If you didn’t hire a qualified service technician to inspect the fuel pipes before you moved in, you want to schedule this service right away.

Give Yourself Peace of Mind

Knowing there’s no damage to your home’s fuel lines helps you sleep better at night. You don’t have to worry about gas leaks and the safety hazards that come with them. You have peace of mind that your home won’t be destroyed by an explosion or fire, or your family sickened from carbon monoxide exposure caused by faulty installation.
