What this service is

TruePoint offers safety-first gas leak testing for residential homes in Lago Vista, Lake Travis communities, and the greater Austin area. We use pressure testing and gas detection tools to confirm or rule out active leaks so you know your next step.

Active gas smell: Leave the home and contact your utility or emergency services. Do not attempt to locate the source. This diagnostic service is for non-emergency situations only.

Signs

Common signs

Any of these may indicate a gas concern worth investigating — in a non-emergency context.

  • Gas odor in or around the home

    A sulfur or rotten-egg smell is added to natural gas as a warning agent. Any persistent odor warrants immediate attention.

  • Hissing sounds near gas lines

    Audible hissing near appliances, meters, or buried line paths can indicate escaping gas under pressure.

  • Dead or yellowing vegetation

    Unexplained dead patches of grass or plants above buried gas lines can indicate an underground leak affecting the soil.

  • Higher than expected gas bills

    A sudden or unexplained increase in gas consumption without a change in usage habits may indicate a slow leak.

  • Physical symptoms at home

    Recurring headaches, dizziness, or nausea that resolve when you leave the home may indicate low-level gas exposure indoors.

  • Utility company notification

    If your utility flags a concern or pressure anomaly on your line, getting an independent test can help confirm the finding.

How we test

The approach is methodical and safety-first. We use three methods, sometimes combined.

Primary method

Pressure testing

We pressurize the gas line and monitor for pressure drop over a defined period. A drop confirms the line is not holding — indicating a leak is present somewhere in the system.

Confirms leak presence
Support method

Electronic leak detection

When pressure testing confirms a leak, we use electronic gas detection equipment to locate the source — narrowing the area without unnecessary excavation.

Post-repair

Post-repair verification

After repairs are made — by us or your contractor — we can retest the system to verify the line holds pressure before gas service is restored.

We confirm the likely source before any repair recommendation.
