Local Intro (63 words):
Follansbee features a mix of historic homes along Main Street, hillside residences overlooking the Ohio River, and newer builds near Follansbee Middle School. The town’s steep slopes can trap gases in basements, while river humidity allows odors to linger longer. Honest Fix helps families across Allegheny Street and Raymond City detect leaks early with affordable testing, clear communication, and written guarantees.

Section 1: Why Follansbee Homes Face Gas Concerns

Older Main Street homes often retain original piping, which can corrode or loosen over time. In hillside areas, the grade makes it easier for gas to pool in basements or lower levels. Honest Fix technicians use precision gas detectors and CO analyzers to identify both visible and invisible hazards. Across Raymond City and northern Follansbee, families benefit from pre-winter inspections that prevent emergencies and ensure safe heating system operation before cold weather hits.
