Q: Can you fix a hole in a gas line?

• <div><p>No, fixing or patching a hole in a gas line may not seal it completely. A patch should be a temporary solution because the damaged area will be weaker than the rest of the pipe, increasing the likelihood of future leaks. Therefore, if a gas line incurs damage, call a licensed plumber and have it replaced right away.</p></div>

Both wood and gas fireplaces have pros and cons&mdash;gas fireplaces are easier to clean and maintain, while fires in wood-burning fireplaces are especially warm and cozy.</p></div>

Q: Can you plant a tree over a gas line?

• <div><p>No, you cannot plant a tree above a gas line. Tree roots grow and spread over time and can sometimes dent, crack, or penetrate a gas line. Those same roots may also cause accessibility problems for maintenance or repairs. You can generally plant vegetation with non-invasive root systems, low-growing vegetation, and flower beds near gas lines. </p></div>

Q: Do I need a gas engineer to disconnect a gas hob?

• <div><p>If you sense a gas leak or are upgrading your appliances, it&rsquo;s best to hire a gas engineer to disconnect the gas stove for you and conduct any other necessary inspections and repairs.

Therefore, a trained professional is more suitable to handle any gas-related problems.</p></div>
