Signs it’s time to call a pro
Most problems give you warning signs — catch one early and you often avoid a bigger repair.
Rotten-egg or sulfur smell
That odor is the warning agent added to natural gas — it means a line is leaking and needs a shutoff and repair now.
Hissing near a gas line or appliance
A hiss at a fitting, valve, or meter points to escaping gas at a loose or cracked connection.
Pilot lights out or appliances starved
Weak flames or appliances that won't stay lit often trace back to a pressure drop or partial blockage in the line.
Dead grass over a buried gas line
A strip of dead or discolored grass over a buried run can mean gas is escaping into the soil.
Gas bill that jumps with no change in use
An unexplained rise in the bill can be a slow leak somewhere on your side of the meter.
Our work, done right
What’s included in our service
Gas line repair is finding where gas piping is leaking or failing and fixing that section so the line holds pressure again. It covers corroded black iron, failed joints and fittings, cracked valves and leaks at appliance connections. A new run for an appliance is a different job; see gas line installation.
Every gas line repair starts with locating the fault and confirming it with a pressure test — we don’t repair blind. We replace corroded black-iron and galvanized sections, reseal failed joints, swap cracked valves and fittings, and re-pipe runs to furnaces, water heaters, ranges, dryers, and fireplaces. Every repair is made to code, pressure-tested, and verified before we restore service.

Smell gas? What to do before you call a plumber
Gas safety comes before repair. Do these in order, then call us once the utility says the house is safe.
Leave the house
Get everyone, including pets, outside.
Do not touch switches or valves, or light a flame
No light switches, valves, garage door openers, matches or lighters. A spark can ignite the gas.
Call your gas utility or 911 from outside
The utility checks the meter and the air and shuts the gas off if needed. Our hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 6pm, so for a gas smell outside those hours call the utility or 911 first.
Then call us for the repair
Once the utility has made the house safe, we find the leak, repair it and pressure-test the line before appliances are relit.

How to decide
Repair or replace? How to decide
A single bad fitting or a short corroded section is usually a straightforward repair. But if your line shows corrosion in multiple spots, sits at the end of its service life, or can’t hold a pressure test, a spot fix only buys time. We’ll show you what we find and walk through whether a targeted repair or a full line replacement is the safer long-term spend.
Straight talk on price
What does it cost?
Gas line repair is flat-rate and quoted up front after we locate and test the fault — never by the hour. Estimates are free, and financing through Acorn Finance is available on larger re-pipes and line replacements.
Local know-how
Gas line repair in the Capital Region
Older Capital Region houses can still run aging black-iron gas piping that corrodes at the threads, and the mix of natural gas, oil and propane differs from town to town. We work on both natural gas and propane lines, know the local permit and inspection process, and bring the fittings to match older piping.

What causes a gas line to leak?
Gas piping that is sound at installation fails slowly, usually at a joint, a fitting or a corroded spot.
Corrosion
Black iron and galvanized pipe rust, mostly at the threads and wherever moisture sits. Buried steel corrodes from the soil side.
Failed joints and fittings
Threaded joints loosen with vibration and time. A fitting that was never fully sealed can start to weep years later.
Appliance connections
Flexible connectors and shutoff valves at the range, dryer, water heater or furnace wear out and crack.
Damage to the line
Digging, a shifted appliance or a settling house can bend or break a pipe that was fine before.
Questions we hear
Gas line repair questions, answered
The things Capital Region homeowners ask us most about repair, replacement and cost.
Leave the home, don’t flip switches or light flames, and call your gas utility from outside. Once it’s safe, call us to locate and repair the line.
We do not repair blind. We pressure-test the line to see whether it holds and trace the fault to the exact fitting or section, which tells us whether the repair is one joint or a longer run. After the repair we test the line again before appliances are relit.
Treat any smell of gas as one. Leave the house, keep away from switches and flames, and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Our hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 6pm, so for a leak outside those hours call the utility first. Once the house is safe, call us for the repair; our emergency plumber page explains how we handle urgent calls.
We can often repair a gas line the same day. Calls come in Monday through Friday, and dispatch confirms the soonest opening when you ring. A gas smell comes first with the utility; once the house is safe, we find and fix the leak.
It depends on what is failing and how hard it is to reach. A single fitting is a small job; a corroded run through finished walls is a larger one. We quote one flat price after we locate and test the fault, never by the hour, and the estimate is free. Financing is available if the work turns into a larger re-pipe.
Yes — we’re licensed (City of Albany #PLBG21-147), insured, and pull permits and pressure-test so repairs pass inspection.
No. Gas repair needs the right fittings and thread sealant, a pressure test and often a permit, and a small mistake can leak gas into the house. If a line smells or hisses, leave the house, do not touch switches or valves, and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Then call us to find and repair the leak.
Watch for a hissing or whistling sound near a line or appliance, pilot lights that keep going out, an unexplained jump in your gas bill, or a patch of dead grass over a buried line in your yard. Any of those means you should leave the house, call your gas utility or 911 from outside, and then have us test the line, since older black iron and steel gas piping common in Capital Region homes can corrode and leak over time.
The utility generally maintains the service line up to and including the meter. The piping past the meter, the lines to your furnace, water heater, range, dryer, grill or generator, is the homeowner’s, and those are the lines we repair. If you are not sure where the utility’s side ends, call the utility, which can tell you for your address.
