Backstory: Years ago the gas company came out to replace my meter and they did an inside presssure test before turning things back on. The pressure test showed leaks in multiple locations and the tech said that the test itself may have popped the seals. 1940's house with all black pipe and a traditional unfinished basement so with the easy access my plumber was done in a day replacing everything.
Now a friend just moved in to a house built in the 50's and after smelling gas found a leak in a pipe feeding the furnace. He is fixing that now but does not want to spend money on anything else.
So my real question is: Should I be telling him to have all the gas pipes redone a.s.a.p. because it is going to leak someplace else?
