Sometimes, damage to your gas line might be too severe to fix, and in these cases, you may need a complete replacement. When deciding whether to replace your gas line, the two main factors to consider are the age of the system and the amount of corrosion present.

• Age: If your gas line is showing signs of trouble or is close to or over 20 years old, it's usually a good idea to replace it. Older gas lines can cause costly problems if left unchecked.

There are several steps you can take to protect your home from gas damage. Since natural gas has no color or smell, a substance called "Mercaptan" is added to give it a distinctive rotten egg odor. This helps you notice a gas leak quickly. Another way to spot a leak is by listening for a hissing sound coming from damaged pipes. You should also check your yard for patches of dead or dying plants, which can be a sign of a gas leak.

If you find a gas leak in your home, turn off all electronic devices right away and leave the house immediately. Don't use your phone until you are outside and in a safe place, then call your gas company for help.
