Gas Leak Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can store a propane tank, whether it is full or empty. Remember that the container is contaminated with hazardous materials once it has housed propane, but as long as it’s properly placed in a well-ventilated, temperature-controlled space, a tank is unlikely to cause issues whether it is full of propane or not. 

Installing a gas line is no simple task. From start to finish, you’re looking at anywhere from six to 12 weeks to acquire the correct permits, dig a trench, and connect your appliances. Naturally, the longer the gas line, the longer it will take to complete. If your plumber needs to hire additional contractors to dig trenches and navigate around or remove obstacles, this could put you at the longer end of the timeframe. 

Once the land is prepped and licenses acquired, installing the actual line may only take a few days to a few weeks, weather permitting.

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.

Generally, an oil furnace is considered safer than a gas furnace for several reasons. While both types of furnaces can produce carbon monoxide, a leak in an oil furnace is easier to detect due to the smell. Oil furnaces also don't connect to a gas pipeline, which reduces the chance of a fuel leak. Most importantly, heating oil is not combustible, whereas natural gas is highly flammable. This means there is a much lower risk of combustion or explosion with an oil furnace. However, an oil furnace can still pose a fire hazard if it tips over.

While some building codes allow galvanized pipe for natural gas, it shouldn’t be used for propane. Propane can cause the pipe to wear down, leading to dangerous leaks. Instead of galvanized piping for propane, you should consider coated copper, black iron, or corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST). For underground propane line installation, you can use polyethylene (PE).
