FAQs
How can I recognize a natural gas leak in my Soddy-Daisy home?
Common warning signs include a rotten-egg or sulfur smell, hissing sounds near gas lines or appliances, dead or discolored vegetation above buried gas lines, bubbles in standing water, or a sudden spike in your gas bill. If you notice any of these indicators, treat the situation as an emergency and leave the building immediately.
What should I do if I suspect a gas leak?
1) Evacuate everyone from the property without turning lights or appliances on or off. 2) Leave doors open to allow gas to dissipate. 3) Once safely outside, call 911 and your gas utility to shut off service. 4) After emergency responders secure the area, contact our 24/7 emergency plumbing teamâweâre based minutes from downtown Soddy-Daisy and can repair or replace damaged gas lines and fittings right away.
Is it safe to shut off the gas myself?
Only use the main shut-off valve if you can reach it easily and without risk. The valve is usually located at the meter on the exterior of your home. Turn it a quarter-turn so it is perpendicular to the pipe. If you hear loud hissing, smell strong gas, or feel unsafe, leave immediately and wait for professionals. Never try to repair or relight appliances yourself after a suspected leak.
How fast can your plumbers respond to a gas leak emergency in Soddy-Daisy?
Our dispatch center monitors calls 24/7. Because we station licensed technicians throughout Hamilton County, we typically arrive anywhere in Soddy-Daisy within 30â45 minutesâoften faster during normal traffic hours. We carry the specialized piping, fittings, detectors, and pressure-testing equipment needed to make on-the-spot repairs.
Do you handle gas line inspections and code compliance after the repair?
Yes. After we repair or replace your gas line, we perform a full pressure test and leak check to verify integrity. We then coordinate with the local building department or utility for any required inspections and permits. You receive detailed documentation for insurance, resale, or rental purposes, ensuring your property meets Tennessee state and Soddy-Daisy municipal codes.
How can I prevent future gas leaks and protect my family?
Schedule an annual gas safety inspection. Weâll examine flexible connectors, appliance shut-off valves, and buried piping for corrosion or damage. Installing carbon monoxide and combustible-gas detectors on every floor adds another layer of protection. Finally, avoid DIY modificationsâalways hire licensed, bonded plumbers for new appliance hookups or gas line extensions.
