Gas piping is responsible for carrying natural gas from the meter to your business. All piping past the meter is actually your responsibility to maintain and repair – it is not the responsibility of the gas company. It is absolutely critical that any damaged or corroded piping is repaired or replaced before a leak develops. Gas pipe repair can help prevent disasters including sickness due to gas buildup within an enclosed space, or even a fire or explosion.
Gas piping is built to be strong and durable, but it is not indestructible. It will weather and age, and if exposed to moisture, it will corrode. What begins as a small spot of rust can become a leak in a surprisingly short amount of time. There is also the potential for exposed gas piping to be damaged due to impacts with equipment or other objects.
Whether due to corrosion, wear and tear, or impact damage, it is crucial to get gas pipe repair done immediately. In reality, it is a better option to have your piping maintained by a professional partner. This will help prevent problems from occurring in the first place. However, if your system has not been maintained correctly and corroded or damaged piping exists, it is crucial to have it repaired immediately.
