Gas Leak Repair questions, answered by experts

Natural gas companies advise only shutting off the gas supply at the meter yourself if you smell natural gas or suspect there is a leak, typically following an emergency.

You’ll generally also need to acquire a permit to work on your natural gas line.

It can cost anywhere from $200 to $5,000 to repair a gas line. The cost may vary depending on where the problem is located. For example, if there’s a small gas leak somewhere that’s easy to access, the cost could be on the lower side. On the other hand, repairing buried lines and lines in other hard-to-reach areas will be more expensive.

The task of installation is usually taken on by the homeowner or professional dryer installer. 

Most gas companies and utilities brokers will send a technician to relight a pilot light, but this may demand a service call fee.
