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.
Type of Pipe
Repairing a pipe that is buried underground or within a wall will require more time compared to fixing a perforated pipe you may find behind an oven.
