Local Intro (62 words):
New Cumberland homes range from older properties near Ridge Avenue to hillside houses overlooking town and newer builds near Oak Glen High School. Many rely on natural gas furnaces, but the area’s terrain and cold winters add stress to lines and equipment. Honest Fix serves families across Hancock County, helping prevent gas leaks and heating hazards through certified inspections and guaranteed testing.
Section 1: Gas Odor Risks Unique to New Cumberland
Hillside homes above the Ohio River face shifting soil, which can strain or crack buried gas lines over time. Downtown homes along Ridge Avenue often still use older, corroded piping that increases the risk of leaks. Families near Oak Glen High School commonly schedule fall tune-ups to ensure safe furnace performance before winter sets in. Honest Fix technicians use advanced leak detection and CO analyzers to catch both visible and invisible dangers early.
