Gas Line Repair in Mooresville

Natural gas heats most Mooresville homes through the long late-October-through-April season, and a gas line problem is first and foremost a safety issue, not a routine repair. If you smell gas, hear hissing, or feel ill, leave the home immediately, then call your gas provider's emergency line and 911 from outside. Only after the situation is made safe do we come in to repair the line.

In Mooresville natural gas service is provided by CenterPoint Energy (Vectren North), and your electric service comes from Duke Energy Indiana. so a suspected leak goes to CenterPoint Energy (Vectren North) first for the life-safety response. Once the immediate hazard is handled, we locate and repair the faulty line, fitting, or connection so it is safe and code-compliant.

Signs of a gas line problem

• The rotten-egg odor added to natural gas, indoors or near a meter or line
• A hissing or whistling sound near a gas line, appliance, or fitting
• Dead or dying vegetation along the path of a buried gas line
• A gas appliance that will not stay lit or burns with an odd yellow flame
• Physical damage to an exposed line, often from digging or yard work

After the utility has made the scene safe, call (317) 436-3846. We pressure-test the system to pinpoint the leak, then repair or replace the affected line or fitting and verify the repair holds before restoring service to your appliances.

Gas line issues often turn up in older in-town homes where lines have aged, or after a home addition or appliance change. If you are adding a new gas appliance rather than fixing a fault, that is a different service; see gas line installation. For other plumbing, see plumbing repair.

We never cut corners on gas work. Every repair is tested and brought to code, because there is no acceptable margin for error with a gas line.

I smell gas. What should I do right now?

How do I know if I have a gas leak?

The added rotten-egg odor is the clearest sign, along with hissing near a line, dead vegetation over a buried line, or a yellow appliance flame. If you suspect a leak, treat it as an emergency.

Who do I call first, the utility or you?

For a suspected active leak, the utility and 911 come first because it is a life-safety matter. We handle the repair once the immediate hazard is controlled. CenterPoint Energy is the gas utility here.

Can old gas lines in the historic core be repaired?

Yes. Older in-town homes sometimes have aging gas lines, and we repair or replace faulty sections and fittings, then pressure-test and bring everything to current code.

Do you test the line after a repair?

Always. Every gas repair is pressure-tested and verified before we restore service. With gas there is no acceptable margin for error, so we confirm the line is tight before signing off.
