Signs you need gas line repair and installation
- The utility shut off your gas and found a leak on your side.
- An appliance keeps shutting itself down or the flame will not stay lit.
- Corroded or rusted fittings on the pipe near the meter or an appliance.
- You want gas run to a new appliance or outdoor equipment.
- A gas smell now: leave, call 911 and the utility, then call us.
How we diagnose it
- 1Safety first, then the callNothing happens while gas is leaking. The utility makes the area safe. Then tell us what they found, what the appliance is, and where the piping runs.
- 2Find the fault on your sideWe assess the customer-side piping: one bad fitting, a corroded run, or a layout that no longer fits the appliances on it. Each is a different repair.
- 3Repair, test, restoreThe piping is repaired or replaced, tested, and the appliances put back in service. The utility handles the meter and its own equipment.
Your likely options
- Method
Repair one fitting or section
What it doesA single leaking joint or a corroded length gets cut out and replaced, the line is tested, and the rest of the piping stays.
When it applies- one isolated fault on otherwise sound pipe.
- Method
Replace the run
What it doesPiping with corrosion along its length, or a layout that was never right, is replaced end to end rather than patched joint by joint.
When it applies- widespread deterioration or repeated leaks on the same run.
- Method
Run a new line
What it doesA new branch from the existing piping to a new appliance or outdoor gas equipment, sized for the load and tested before it is connected.
When it applies- a new appliance or outdoor connection the current piping does not reach.
What it costs
A visit to look at the problem. We tell you on the phone, before we schedule, whether that visit has a charge and what it is.
- One fitting versus a full run of pipe.
- Where the pipe goes: open basement, finished wall, or buried outside.
- Whether the utility or an inspector has to sign off.
A written scope and price for the repair, before we start. No work beyond that scope without your OK.
Once the area is safe, call us
Tell us what the utility found and which appliance is involved. We assess your side of the piping and quote the fix.
Gas line repair and installation questions
Should I fill in the form if I smell gas?
No. Get out, then call 911 and the gas utility from outside. A form does not reach anyone in time. Call us after the utility has made the house safe.
Can I check the fittings or relight the appliance myself?
Do not. Taking fittings apart or relighting a unit that keeps shutting down puts you next to the leak. Leave it off and have the system checked.
The corrosion is right at the meter. Whose job is it?
The meter and the line feeding it belong to the utility. The pipe leaving it toward the house is yours. Describe where the rust is and we tell you which side it is on.
Do you charge to come out and look?
We tell you on the phone, before we schedule, whether the visit has a charge and what it is.
How soon can you come?
Call and we tell you straight; it depends on the day. For an active leak or backup, call rather than sending the form.
