Should a plumber be licensed and certified to install gas lines?

<div><p>Yes, most states require a plumber to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Check our <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to review the local plumber guidelines.</p><p>As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:</p><ul><li><p>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</p></li><li><p>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</p></li><li><p>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</p></li><li><p>Paying to advertise their services</p></li><li><p>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</p></li></ul><p>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</p></div>

How much does it cost to fix a gas leak?

<div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/average-gas-line-repair-and-installation-costs.htm">Fixing a gas leak costs</a> about <b>$45 to $150 per hour</b> for a plumber or gas line specialist. The job’s overall cost will vary depending on the location of the leak. A leaky junction or connection behind the stove or dryer will likely cost about <b>$120 to $170</b>. But for a leak that requires a gas fitter or plumber to excavate a pipe in the yard, the cost could rise to <b>$1,500 to $5,000</b>. Keep in mind that gas leaks are very serious issues, so don’t hesitate to contact a plumber or gas line specialist immediately.</p></div>

How long does it take to fix a gas leak?

<div><p>Fixing a gas leak can take anywhere from <b>one to 24 hours</b>, depending on the location and magnitude of the problem. A gas line specialist or gas plumber should be able to give you an estimated time to completion once they evaluate the situation. If your city’s utility company works to fix a gas leak, it will likely have information available about the anticipated time for gas service to be restored. </p></div>

What are common gas line repair costs?

<div><p>The cost of repairing a gas leak depends on the type of leak, its severity, and how difficult it is for the repair technician to reach it. Some of the most common gas line repair costs, on average, include:</p><ul><li><p>Cap a gas line: $75–$150</p></li><li><p>Gas system inspection: $150</p></li><li><p>Pressure test: $75–$500</p></li><li><p>Damaged or corroded pipe: $6–$7 per linear foot</p></li><li><p>Repair gas leak: $120–$5,000</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Who should fix a gas leak?

<div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/natural-gas-plumbers/">local natural gas plumber,</a> gas fitter, or gas line specialist should fix gas leaks. Installing gas lines and connections improperly can lead to dangerous gas leaks and explosions. Only a certified plumber or gas line specialist should run gas lines. This is not a job to try out DIY skills, so hire a professional gas plumber or gas line specialist immediately to find the cause of the leak and fix it quickly. </p></div>

Welcome to Cornerstone Plumbing Company, your trusted plumbing partner since our establishment in 2009. With over a decade of dedicated service, we have proudly become a cornerstone in the plumbing industry, providing exceptional plumbing solutions to homes and businesses throughout our community. Our Story: Cornerstone Plumbing Company was founded in 2009 with a vision to redefine the plumbing industry by offering unparalleled quality, reliability, and customer service. Our journey began with a small team of passionate plumbers who shared a commitment to excellence. Over the years, we've grown, but our commitment to those core values remains unwavering. Our Mission: At Cornerstone Plumbing Company, our mission is to set the standard for plumbing excellence. We aim to be the go-to plumbing service provider for all our customers' needs. We strive to deliver top-notch plumbing solutions while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and transparency.

"I engaged Cornerstone Plumbing for a kitchen plumbing project totaling $2,400, which was to include the installation of a sink, faucet, garbage disposal, dishwasher, and related plumbing work. While the sink was installed as scheduled, the remaining scope of work was not completed, despite multiple confirmed appointments. Several scheduled visits were missed without notice, and no proactive communication was provided. I attempted numerous follow-ups via phone and voicemail, but received no consistent or timely response. Ultimately, due to the lack of progress and communication, I hired a licensed plumber who completed the work for $1,807. When I contacted Cornerstone Plumbing to discuss a partial refund based on the uncompleted services, the conversation with management was brief and unproductive. Shortly after I submitted a one-star review on Google, I received an email from the company's office manager referencing unrelated reviews I had written about other businesses, along with a warning about potential legal consequences for posting public feedback. I found this response both inappropriate and concerning, particularly given the unresolved nature of the issue. Based on this experience, I would advise others to exercise caution when considering this company."

"Fantastic work and the plumber who can out was amazing! I really enjoyed the overall experience in what was a stressful situation I felt that the pricing was not clear to me in that each plumbing would be charged $250k, resulting in $1,250 for about 2 hours work. I was very satisfied with the work and tried to be as nice as I could be but feel surprised by the sticker when the plumber was already out at my home. Just ask questions on costs before engaging anyone moving forward. The guys were good people and I don’t no mind paying a little more for great work on an Easter weekend… just communicate with me so I am not surprised!"
