What goes wrong in Monongalia County homes
Natural gas in most homes
53% of occupied homes here heat with utility gas, so gas water heaters, ranges and dryers are common. That means gas line extensions for new appliances, flexible connector replacements and venting checks when a water heater is swapped. If you smell gas, leave first and call the gas utility from outside. See gas line repair.
Winter freezes
42% of homes here were built before 1980, when pipes were more often run through exterior walls and uninsulated crawl spaces. In a cold West Virginia winter those are the lines that freeze and split. See frozen and burst pipe repair.
