Safety first
Think You Have a Gas Leak?
Smell gas? Leave, don't touch switches, phones or flames inside, and call your gas company or 911 from outside. Other signs of a leak:
- Rotten egg smell, even a faint one
- Hissing near the meter, pipe or appliance
- Dead grass along the gas line
Our faith, our standard
Your Safety Before Our Business
We believe honest work honors God. Here is what that looks like.
We'll Tell You to Hang Up and Call 911
Smell gas when you call? Cody will tell you to get out and call your gas company or 911 first. A plumber is not the emergency response.
The Smallest Fix That's Truly Safe
One bad connector gets one new connector. If the line is failing, we show you why first.
Plumbing for a Greater Purpose
A portion of every job goes to a local ministry.
What to expect after a gas leak
Before We Arrive
The gas company or 911 comes first. Once it's safe, call us with what they found.
During the Visit
We find the leak, show you, and price it in writing. Gas stays off until it passes.
When We Leave
We pressure test, get it inspected if required, then restore gas, relight pilots and recheck connections.
How we find it
Find It, Fix It, Prove It Holds
Most leaks are at a fitting, valve or old flex connector. Some are buried.
- Leak traced to the exact spot
- Bad part replaced, not patched
- Pressure tested before gas returns
When it's not a plumbing fix
- The gas company owns the meter and its line
- Appliance leaks may need appliance repair or replacement
Fix the Fitting vs Replace the Run
| Fix the fitting | Replace the run | |
|---|---|---|
| Best when | One bad joint | Old or corroded pipe |
| Up front | Less | More |
| Gas off | Shorter | Longer |
| Pressure test | Required | Required |
| Next leak | Rest of line same age | All new pipe |
Gas Leak Detection & Repair FAQs
I smell gas faintly. Is it really an emergency?
Yes, treat any gas smell as real: leave and call your gas company or 911 from outside. They would rather come out for nothing than miss a leak.
How much does gas leak repair cost?
A single fitting or connector repair usually lands between $275 and $825, more for a buried or corroded line. We find the leak first, then give one written price.
Can I fix a small gas leak myself?
We don't recommend it. Tape is not a real fix, gas work needs the right parts, a pressure test and usually a permit, and a mistake can hurt someone.
Do you fix propane leaks too?
Yes, on the house side: piping, valves and appliance connections. The tank and its regulator usually belong to your supplier, so call them first if the leak is there.
My carbon monoxide alarm went off. Is that a gas leak?
Not always, but treat it as an emergency: get everyone outside and call 911. CO has no smell and usually comes from an appliance burning badly.
