If You Smell Gas, Do This First

Your safety comes before any repair. Take these steps in order:

  • Get everyone outside the home
  • Call your gas utility or 911 from outside
  • Call us at (919) 404-9040 once it is safe

Please do not try to find the leak yourself.

Signs of a Gas Leak Around Your Home

Some signs are obvious, while others are easy to miss. Any of them is worth taking seriously.

A Smell of Gas Inside or Near Your Home

A gas smell means gas may be escaping somewhere in the line or at an appliance. Do not wait to see if it fades. Follow the steps above first, then call us.

A Hissing Sound Near a Gas Line

A hissing or whistling sound near a pipe or appliance can point to escaping gas. If you also notice a smell, treat it as an emergency. We find the source once it is safe to do so.

Worn Joints and Fittings Along the Line

Gas can escape where lines connect, at a joint or a fitting. Over time, those connections can wear or loosen. We inspect them and tell you what we find.

Gas line repair is its own service, so tell us what you see.

How We Find and Fix a Gas Leak

Gas work moves carefully, one step at a time. Here is what to expect.

Listening to What You Noticed

We start by asking what you smelled, heard, or saw, and where. Those details point us toward the right part of the line.

Repairing the Joint or Fitting

Once we know the source, we repair the joint or fitting that is failing. If the line shows wider problems, we tell you plainly.

Finding Where the Gas Is Escaping

Our plumbers work to locate the exact spot where gas is getting out. We do not guess or replace parts without knowing the source.

Testing the Line Before It Goes Back Into Use

A repair is not finished until the line is tested. We check the work before the gas goes back into use.

What You Gain From a Careful Gas Repair

A careful gas repair will help you:

  • Stop gas from escaping at the joint or fitting
  • Feel safe using your gas appliances again
  • Know the line was tested before it went back into use
  • Understand what failed and why
  • Make decisions with the full picture
  • Avoid guessing about a serious problem

Results depend on where the leak is, the age of the line, and what the inspection finds.

Our technician Solomon Lopez was great. He was very thorough in walking me through what needed to be done and why. The price was on the low end compared to other estimates that I received too!
