Smell gas right now? Do this first

Get out now. Take everyone, pets included, away from the building.
Don't create a spark. No light switches, phones, lighters or starting a car in an attached garage.
Call from outside. Call 911 or Atmos Energy's emergency line.
Then call us at (817) 755-5621. Our on-call plumber is sent out right away, day or night, to repair the line once responders have made it safe.

Never hunt for the leak yourself or turn a shut-off meter back on. See what happens when you call in an emergency.

Signs of a gas leak

A rotten-egg or sulfur smell (natural gas is odorless; the smell is added so you notice leaks)
Hissing near a pipe, the meter or an appliance
A strip of dead grass over a buried yard line, or bubbles in wet soil along it
A gas bill higher than your usage explains
Pilot lights that keep going out, or yellow or orange burner flames instead of blue
Rust or pitting where pipe runs outdoors or enters the ground
An Atmos Energy red tag on your meter or an appliance

Yellow flames can also mean a burner is producing carbon monoxide. If a CO alarm sounds, leave and call 911.

How we find the leak

We pinpoint the leak before cutting into anything. First comes a pressure test: we isolate the piping, pressurize it with air and watch a gauge. A drop means a leak. Then an electronic gas detector and leak-detection solution on joints and valves show exactly where gas escapes. For buried and under-slab lines, we test each section separately so nobody digs in the wrong place.

What we repair

Black iron pipe

Many older homes around Riverside and Oakhurst date from the 1920s to the 1960s, and their gas piping is usually threaded black iron (steel). Leaks tend to start at joints, fittings and old valves, or where rust has worked into pipe outdoors. We replace the failed fitting or section, or the whole run if it's badly corroded.

CSST (corrugated stainless steel tubing)

CSST is the flexible yellow- or black-jacketed tubing in many newer homes and remodels. Repairs need fittings made for that brand, installed by a plumber trained on the system. CSST must also be bonded to the home's electrical grounding to lower lightning risk. If yours isn't, we'll point it out so it can be bonded.

Yard lines and under-slab lines

North Texas clay shrinks in drought and swells after rain, straining buried pipe, and older steel lines rust underground. We have utilities marked through Texas811, then repair the damaged section or replace the run with pipe rated for burial.

Appliance hookups

We fix leaking connections at water heaters, furnaces, ranges, dryers, gas logs and grills: worn flexible connectors, leaking shut-off valves and old uncoated brass connectors, a known failure point that should be replaced. Each appliance needs its own shut-off valve and, where code requires, a sediment trap.

Fort Worth permits and the pressure test

Most gas line repairs in Fort Worth need a plumbing permit from the city's Development Services and an inspection before the gas goes back on.

After the repair, the piping is put under air pressure and must hold steady on the gauge for the time the city requires while the inspector checks it. Once it passes, the city releases the line to Atmos Energy.

Got an Atmos red tag?

Atmos Energy red-tags a meter or appliance when it finds a leak or unsafe condition, and the gas stays off until it's fixed. Here's the path back:

Atmos shuts off and tags the meter or appliance.
We find and repair the leak.
The permit, pressure test and inspection are completed.
The city releases the line to Atmos.
Atmos turns your gas back on.

Our Atmos red tag guide for Fort Worth covers each step in detail.

What gas line repair costs

The price depends on where the leak is, how much pipe needs replacing, access (attic, wall, yard or slab) and the permit. See current offers on our coupons page.

Gas line repair FAQs

I smell gas at night. What should I do?

Get everyone outside without touching switches, appliances or flames, and call 911 or Atmos Energy's emergency line from outside. Then call us at (817) 755-5621. We provide 24/7 emergency service, and our on-call plumber is sent out right away to repair the line once it's safe.

Do I need a permit to repair a gas line in Fort Worth?

In most cases, yes. Repairing or replacing gas piping generally needs a City of Fort Worth plumbing permit and a pressure test with a city inspection before the gas is turned back on.

Who turns the gas back on after Atmos shuts it off?

Atmos Energy does. After the repair passes the city inspection, the city releases the line to Atmos, which restores service at the meter. Never remove a red tag or turn a locked meter back on yourself.

Is CSST or black iron pipe better?

Both are approved for natural gas when installed to code. Black iron is rigid threaded steel pipe, common in older homes; CSST is flexible stainless tubing with fewer joints that must be bonded to reduce lightning risk. We match your existing system or recommend replacing a run that's in poor shape.

Do you work on restaurant and commercial gas lines?

Yes, we repair gas piping for restaurants and other businesses as well as homes. The steps are the same: locate the leak, repair it, then permit, pressure test and inspection. See our commercial plumbing page.
