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.

  • Capping a gas line: $75–$150

  • Gas system inspection: $150

Pipefitting is a more specialized profession, and pipefitters work with complex systems and low- and high-pressure pipes, so it can be considered harder than plumbing.

All U.S. states require permits for gas grill installation, so you’ll have to get one before you move forward with your project. Permits help ensure that the gas line runs safely to avoid gas leaks and explosions. Gas line permits can usually also only be pulled by certified plumbers, which means you’ll have to hire a professional from the start. The permit for a gas line installation for a gas grill usually costs between $100 and $300. You can contact your installation company or building department for more accurate pricing.

If you're connecting your gas line to appliances, the pro doing the work may recommend flexible corrugated stainless-steel tubing (CCST). Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is another relatively inexpensive material commonly used for residential pipes. Ultimately, you'll need to find out what is permitted based on the code requirements in your area.
