Why Old Denton Road's Mature Trees Are Hard on Older Gas Lines
Old Denton Road and Josey Lane are two of the oldest streets in this part of Carrollton, and the trees along them are just as old. That is good for shade. It is hard on a gas line.
Gas line repair Northwest Carrollton residents call us for starts with one question: did the roots get to it, or is this something else? We check both, with a real pressure test, not a guess.
Roots grow toward moisture, and a gas line joint that has ever had even a tiny weep is exactly what a root system looks for. Once a root wraps a joint, it can slowly pry it open over years.
You will usually see a sign before you smell gas:
- A section of yard along Old Denton Road or Josey Lane that heaves slightly near a tree
- A pilot light that will not stay lit on a windless day
- Higher gas bills with no new appliance to explain it
None of these guarantee root damage. They are enough reason to get a pressure test before it becomes an emergency.
Josey Lane Homes Built Before Code Updates Need a Fresh Pressure Test
Carrollton's gas code has changed more than once since most of Northwest Carrollton was built. A line that passed inspection decades ago was not held to today's standard. That does not mean it is unsafe. It means it is worth checking, especially if nobody has tested it since the original install.
