Quick Answer (57 words):
If you notice a sulfur-like odor in your Weirton home, evacuate immediately and call 911 and Mountaineer Gas from outside. Don’t use switches or flames.

From Marland Heights to downtown Weirton, families trust us for thorough, affordable inspections.
Local Intro (66 words):
Weirton residents live in a mix of steel-era homes in Marland Heights, hillside neighborhoods in Overbrook, and newer builds near Weir High School. Many of these homes use natural gas, with older piping still common downtown. River humidity and sloped terrain allow gas to settle, raising safety concerns. Honest Fix has served Weirton for years, preventing emergencies through careful testing, transparency, and fair pricing.
Steel-town houses built decades ago often rely on original gas piping that’s now prone to corrosion. In Marland Heights, some furnaces are still decades old, risking cracked heat exchangers or loose fittings. Homes along Freedom Way and the Overbrook slopes face added hazards as heavier gas can collect in basements. Honest Fix technicians use advanced gas detection tools and test for carbon monoxide on every call, ensuring safety for families across Weirton’s neighborhoods old and new.
Weirton homeowners value accuracy and trust. That’s why Honest Fix provides exact written quotes—never ballpark numbers—and full approval before any repair begins. During our $109 furnace tune-ups, technicians check CO detector operation, inspect stove and water heater connections, and verify vent safety. Families near Weirton Madonna High School depend on Honest Fix to prepare systems for winter and prevent unexpected leaks or outages before temperatures fall.
Do Weirton homes near the mill face higher risks?
Yes. Older infrastructure and metal corrosion near the mill district can increase the likelihood of small gas leaks.
How does Honest Fix identify sewer gas vs. natural gas?
Both have similar sulfur odors. Honest Fix technicians use calibrated gas detectors to confirm the presence of methane versus sewer gases like hydrogen sulfide.
Are quotes in Weirton exact or estimates?
Always exact, in writing. Honest Fix never begins work until you’ve reviewed and approved the price.
