Water & Gas Line Repair in Bell County, TX

ABC plumbers specialize in gas and water leak testing and are fully licensed to perform all required testing and repairs.

The most common symptom of a gas leak is the smell of gas. Both ABC and your local gas utility may work on your problem jointly, since gas leaks are a serious issue. If your gas has been shut off by the utility, ABC can perform the necessary repairs and coordinate with the gas company to have your system inspected and turned back on. The inspection to re-establish service is a mandatory process when the gas company has been called out to turn off the system. Gas companies typically do not perform repairs on the home side of a gas system and will refer you to a licensed plumber to perform this work. Once work is completed and the gas company inspects the repair, the utility company will turn the system back on.

With water leaks, the main symptoms are soft, wet spots in the yard or visible water standing or running down driveways and sidewalks. Another clue is a sudden and substantial increase in water bills. If you suspect a water leak, contact ABC, and we’ll find the source, price the repairs and have you back to normal as quickly as possible. It’s also worth noting that some utilities will credit some of your excessive water bill with proof from you that there was a leak after a plumber has inspected and repaired the problem. Be sure to save all of the paperwork from your ABC plumber for proof with your local water utility.

ABC specializes in slab leaks. Slab leaks are the most damaging type of residential leak, so contact us immediately if you have sunken spots in your slab, buckling of floorboards, wet slab or carpet, or unexplained high water bills. These can all be signs of a serious water leak. The most common type of leak is where the water pipe (commonly, PVC pipe) from the utility supply line attaches to the copper fitting at the edge of a home’s slab. This is commonly mistaken for a slab leak because of its proximity to the slab.

Other types of leaks can come from damage to the pipe from ground-shifting with weather changes or someone working in the yard and accidentally puncturing the water line. Contact ABC for any suspected water leak, and we’ll determine the true nature of the leak and get it repaired with your approval.
