Leaky Gas Lines Know NO Season.

A gas line leak occurs when the pipe that transports it from one location to another one suffers a tear or a scratch that often results from high pressure.  Natural gas, gasoline, and other substances either in liquid or gaseous form are transported using gas lines.  Obviously, gas leaks are hazardous and need to be repaired immediately.

Call a repair man immediately and he will –

1.  Turn off the gas
2.  Remove the covers
3.  Detach the gas line
4.  Remove the residue pressure
5.  Clean the line

The right man for this precarious job is Brent Staats of Staats Plumbing.  They are Central Ohio’s choice for gas line repair.  Staats Plumbing services the plumbing, backflow, and gas line repair needs of the Columbus Ohio area.  Whenever you smell gas in your home call Brent immediately at (740) 625-5284.

Water Main Breaks in the Winter.

I’ll tell you what…go out into your backyard right now and try to dig a hole.  When air temperatures drop below freezing, even the water in the soil begins to freeze.  The depth of that freezing is called the frost line.  As temperatures stay below 32 degrees that frost line moves further down until it reaches underground pipes.

The frozen ground adds pressure to anything beneath it including the underground distribution mains and service lines that pump water throughout the many communities in the Columbus area.  Most of the water mains are at least 5 feet underground.  In wintertime, the downward force on a pipe is 400 pounds per foot or more!

The pressure can get to anything no matter how well constructed it is.  When a water main breaks in our area you can count on the professional team at Staats Plumbing.  We have been protecting Columbus Ohio properties against plumbing problems for more than 20 years.  Give us a call for preventative or emergency plumbing needs at (740) 625-5284.
