Atlanta Gas Leak Repair & Detection

Gas MeterGas leaks are pretty scary. You can’t see them and they can persist for months before you even notice the strange sulfurous “rotten egg” smell. Most people think of calling their gas company first, but they will refer you to a plumber—and there are only certain plumbers qualified to do this type of work.

Common Gas Line Problems

  • Rust or corrosion on pipes
  • Failed sealants or joints

Our Atlanta gas leak repair team has the equipment and the experience to assess the problem, find the leaks and make sure your furnace, water heater, and stove are functioning at normal capacity.

Do You Have A Gas Leak?

Your property includes a system of pipes that delivers natural gas from your gas service provider to your home. While these pipes may be out of sight, out of mind – you’ll know it when something is wrong. The most common sign you may have a gas line problem is:

Gas Leak Smell

Rotten Egg Smell

Natural gas is colorless and odorless. Gas companies add a chemical to your gas that gives it a sulfuric “rotten egg” smell to help alert you to a leak. Smelling gas in and around your home is a sign that you have damaged or improperly installed gas pipes.
If you believe you have a gas leak, don’t wait! Call us to schedule gas leak detection and repair service today.

Frequently Asked Gas Leak & Gas Service Questions

Who fixes a gas leak?

Gas leaks are no DIY project. Natural gas is highly hazardous, and trying to repair a gas line without the right expertise can put you—and your home—in serious danger. From fire risks to carbon monoxide poisoning, the stakes are simply too high to take chances.

That’s why it’s essential to call in the experts. Fix & Flow’s Master Plumbers, licensed by the State of Georgia, have the training, certifications, and professional-grade tools to get the job done safely and efficiently. Whether it’s a gas pipe leak or an issue with your appliances, our team has the experience to pinpoint and resolve the problem, keeping your home protected and your peace of mind intact.

When it comes to gas leaks, trust the professionals who make safety the top priority—so you can breathe easy.

Why do I have to call a plumber for gas leak repairs?

​Plumbers are trained and certified to assemble all types of piping. As part of their certification, licensed plumbers must understand the general regulations related to the international fuel gas code and are tested on this knowledge. They are generally the most qualified professionals to handle gas leak repairs.

Local regulations play a crucial role in gas line installation and repair. These regulations require that gas lines be installed and inspected by licensed experts, ensuring that all work meets safety standards. This means that:

  • Only certified professionals can legally perform these tasks, safeguarding against improper installation.
  • Specific installation methods must be adhered to, as improper techniques can complicate repairs or lead to failures.
  • Safety risks, such as carbon monoxide poisoning or fires, are mitigated by compliance with these regulations, protecting residents from potential illness or death.

By working with licensed plumbers, you ensure that your gas line installations and repairs are handled with the expertise and adherence to regulations necessary for safety and peace of mind.

What does a gas leak smell like?

Natural gas is colorless and odorless. Gas companies add a chemical to your gas that gives it a sulfuric “rotten egg” smell to help alert you to a leak.

What should I do if I smell gas?

If you suspect that you have a gas leak, you should call your local gas company or 911. In Atlanta, you will call Atlanta Gas Light: (877) 427-4321

What will my gas company do if I call them about a gas leak?

In emergencies, calling 911 or your gas company will be the fastest way to address concerns about a dangerous gas leak. Your gas company or the fire department will respond and turn off your gas at the meter after they turn off your service. You will then be advised to call a certified plumber.

​In non-emergencies, call your gas company with your concern. It may result in them dispatching a tech to your home, or they may advise you over the phone to contact a plumber. If they do come to your home, the technician will make some assessment of your concern. If they determine a considerable liability, they will turn off your service at the meter and advise you to call a plumber.

Why do gas pipes fail or need to be replaced?

As gas pipes age, the sealants in the joints and valves can deteriorate and start leaking. Techniques and standards for gas pipe installation have changed over the years. Many types of existing gas piping are no longer meeting these new standards. New gas piping is safer and more reliable than gas piping that was historically used in homes.

How long does a typical gas line repair service take?

The time it takes to repair a gas line can vary, depending on the nature of the issue and the complexity of the fix. Here’s a quick breakdown of what to expect:

  • Initial Assessment: First we need to pinpoint the problem. A certified technician will visit your property to diagnose the issue. This step usually takes just a couple of hours, though more complex problems might require a bit more time.
  • Scheduling the Repair: Once we know what we’re dealing with, repairs are typically scheduled right away—sometimes the same day or within a few days, depending on urgency and technician availability.
  • Completing the Repair: For straightforward issues, repairs can often be wrapped up in just a few hours. If the job requires more extensive work, it could take a full day to ensure everything is handled safely and properly.

What Can Affect the Timeline?

Things like weather, access to necessary parts, or unexpected complications can occasionally add time to the process. Your technician will keep you informed every step of the way and provide a clear, accurate estimate tailored to your situation.

At Fix & Flow, we know how important it is to get your gas lines repaired quickly—and done right the first time. Our team works efficiently and safely, so you can get back to life without the worry.

Can I have a gas line installed if I don't have one?

Yes, you can have a new gas service installed in your home. If your home has never been connected to a gas line or has had gas service in the past, a certified plumber can help establish this service for you.

What is the process for having gas service installed in Atlanta?

There are several steps involved:

  1. First, call Atlanta Gas Light and request a new service, or apply online. Within a few days, you will receive confirmation of your request.
  2. Call Fix & Flow and we will pull a permit and install your gas piping. Our licensed plumbers will also inspect any existing gas lines and bring them up to code.
  3. It is common for cities to require inspections of plumbing installations.
  4. Once you pass the inspection, you must choose your local gas marketer to buy your gas. This will establish an account with them.
  5. The gas company will schedule an appointment with you for your gas meter to be installed.
  6. After the meter is installed, Fix & Flow will return to connect your new appliances.
  7. You can expect the entire process to take about four weeks.

What risks are associated with improperly handled gas lines?

When it comes to gas lines, there’s no room for error. Handling these systems requires precision, expertise, and a keen focus on safety. If gas lines aren’t managed properly, several dangerous scenarios can unfold.

Safety and Legal Concerns

  • Compliance Matters: In most areas, gas lines must be installed and inspected by licensed professionals. Cutting corners not only puts your safety at risk but can also lead to legal headaches, fines, and penalties.
  • Technical Challenges: Installing and repairing gas lines involves specialized tools, materials, and know-how. Even a small mistake—like an improper connection—can cause leaks or system malfunctions.

Health and Environmental Risks

  • Gas Leaks: A poorly handled gas line can leak, allowing combustible gas to accumulate indoors. That’s a recipe for disaster, creating a highly flammable and dangerous environment.
  • Carbon Monoxide Exposure: When gas lines or appliances aren’t installed or maintained correctly, they can emit carbon monoxide—a colorless, odorless gas that’s incredibly dangerous. Inhaling too much can lead to severe illness, or worse.

The Bottom Line

Improperly handled gas lines pose serious risks to your safety, health, and the environment. Protect yourself, your family, and your home by trusting certified professionals who know how to get the job done right. At Fix & Flow, our licensed plumbers handle gas line installations and repairs with the care and expertise they demand—so you can breathe easy.
