Gas Leak Repair FAQs, answered by experts

The cost to repair a gas line or fix a gas leak typically ranges from $120 to $5,000. The final price depends on factors like the leak's location, its severity, and the accessibility of the pipe. For a simple, easily accessible repair, the average cost is between $120 and $250. A plumber or gas line specialist may charge an hourly rate of $45 to $150.

Cost can vary based on the complexity of the job:

  • A minor leak at an accessible connection, like behind a stove, may cost $120 to $170.

  • More complex repairs involving buried lines or pipes behind drywall are more expensive. Excavation can raise the cost to between $1,500 and $5,000, and you may need to hire a separate contractor to repair the drywall or landscaping.

Other common costs associated with gas line repair include:

  • Capping a gas line: $75–$150

  • Gas system inspection: $150

  • Pressure test: $75–$500

  • Replacing a damaged pipe: $15–$25 per linear foot

Because gas leaks are a serious safety hazard, it is crucial to contact a professional immediately if you suspect a problem.

If you suspect a broken gas line in your home, turn the gas off at the mains and call a nearby emergency plumber. Don't attempt to fix it yourself, and don't use anything that could cause a flame or a spark. Your pro has the tools and experience to safely repair the gas line.

In most cases, a gas stove should be installed by a licensed plumber. Connecting gas appliances carries many risks, chief among them a fatal gas leak. If your home is already set up with the proper gas hookups, you may be able to DIY the installation (or save money by hiring a local handyperson or basic appliance installer near you rather than a plumber). If you’re ever in doubt, however, we recommend going with a professional master plumber.

Venting a gas water heater out of the roof is preferable in most cases. Heated exhaust gases naturally rise, so a vertical vent pipe is efficient. If you’re trying to vent through a pipe exiting a wall, the angle of the pipe may be more horizontal than vertical, making the venting system less effective. If you go through a wall, you may need to add a fan to ensure a successful expulsion of the gases outdoors.

The best way to reset this valve is to contact your utility provider to do so safely. If the pipes are damaged and you reset the valve anyway, it could lead to a gas leak. It’s important to call in a pro as soon as you can to reconnect your gas supply after an earthquake and ensure the device will work again the next time there’s a quake.
