If you have a gas leak, our experienced team will evaluate the problem's complexity and update you on any expected challenges. The length of time it takes to mend a natural gas leak can fluctuate depending on the location and severity of the leak. The time taken to repair a pipe primarily depends on its location. For instance, pipes located underground or within walls usually take longer to fix than a damaged pipe you might discover behind a stove. More substantial leaks often require more repair time unless they are easily accessible. Severe leaks often necessitate gas line piping replacement, while minor leaks can be tackled using different approaches.
