Gas Leak Repair

OVERVIEW

Safe First, Then Fixed Right

If you smell gas, get out first. Leave the building, then call 911 or your gas utility from outside. The utility will make it safe, which usually means shutting off the gas.

Then call us. We find exactly where the gas is escaping, repair the piping, valve, or connection, pressure test the system, and handle the filing and inspection so the utility can turn the gas back on.

If You Smell Gas

  • Leave the building right away
  • Don't use light switches, phones, or anything that could spark
  • Call 911 or your gas utility from outside
  • Call us once the area has been made safe
  • Don't try to find the leak yourself, and don't go back inside until the utility says it's safe.
WHERE LEAKS START

Finding the Source

A gas smell can come from the piping, a valve, or the appliance itself. We test until we find it, so the repair fixes the actual leak.

Emergency service: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a technician typically on site within 4 hours.

After the repair: we pressure test the piping and handle what's needed to get the gas turned back on.

If the leak is part of wider piping problems, we'll tell you what we found and quote the repair before starting.
