Gas Leak Repair Services
Gas Line Repair
If the leak is isolated to a specific section of piping, we can repair the affected area using approved materials and proper testing to ensure a safe, long-lasting fix.
Gas Line Replacement
In some cases, gas piping may be too corroded or damaged to repair safely. When replacement is the best option, we explain why and replace only what’s necessary.
Gas Appliance Leak Repair
Leaks at appliance connections—such as furnaces, water heaters, dryers, or stoves—can often be repaired once properly identified. We ensure connections are secure and tested before gas is restored.
Gas Safety Inspections
If you suspect a leak but aren’t sure where it’s coming from, we can inspect gas lines and accessible connections to identify safety concerns before they turn into emergencies.

Gas Line Installation for Outdoor & Specialty Equipment
In addition to gas leak repair, we also install new gas lines for approved residential applications, including:
- Outdoor fire pits
- Gas BBQs and outdoor kitchens
- Pool and spa heaters
- Garage or workshop gas heaters
We’ll confirm capacity, routing, and connection requirements so your new gas appliance or feature operates safely and reliably.
Red-Tagged Gas Equipment
If a furnace or gas appliance has been red-tagged, it means a serious safety issue was identified, such as a combustion or carbon monoxide concern. Red-tagged equipment should never be operated until the issue is properly corrected.
We are licensed to address gas-related safety issues and help resolve red tags so equipment can be evaluated for safe operation.
Gas Leak Repair FAQ
Do plumbers repair gas leaks?
Yes. Licensed plumbers with gas fitting credentials are qualified to locate and repair gas leaks. Gas piping systems overlap with plumbing systems, which is why properly licensed plumbers handle gas leak repairs safely and legally.
Does the gas company fix gas leaks inside the home?
No. The gas utility’s role is to identify unsafe conditions and shut off service if needed. Repairs inside the home must be completed by a licensed plumber before gas service can be restored.
How do I know if I have a gas leak?
Common signs include a sulfur or “rotten egg” smell, hissing near gas lines or appliances, dizziness or headaches indoors, or unexplained increases in gas usage. If you suspect a leak, leave the home and contact the gas utility immediately.
Can gas service be turned back on the same day?
In many cases, yes—once repairs are completed and the system is verified safe. Timing depends on the location of the leak and coordination with the gas utility.
