Gas Leak Repair questions, answered by experts

If your existing gas line requires a simple fix or a small replacement and it's easy to access, you can expect it to take one or two hours. A more complex project like fixing an underground gas line can take several days to complete. Consult a gas plumber near you with the specifics of your project to receive an accurate estimate of the price and time commitment.

DIY installation is not recommended due to the complexities of gas line work and venting; professional installation ensures safety and compliance.

In North America, pipe measurements are listed as the nominal pipe size (NPS). This measurement refers to the outside diameter. As an example, a 1/2-inch copper pipe has an outside diameter of 5/8 of an inch. If a hardware store lists a pipe as having a 2 NPS, it means that all the pipes with this measurement have a 2 ⅜-inch outside diameter, regardless of wall thickness and inside diameter.

No, Teflon tape will not stop a gas leak. In fact, no type of tape is the solution to a gas pipe leak. If you suspect a leak, turn off your home’s gas supply and contact a pro or your utility immediately. Teflon tape is only for preventing leaks during pipe installation, not for repairing existing leaks.

Gas lines are built for longevity, so they can last up to 50 years when installed properly. However, normal wear and tear are possible, especially in moderate climates. Having a plumber or local gas company inspect your gas lines every year is best to ensure there are no hidden leaks or other dangerous problems.
