Gas Line Repair in Columbus, OH
A faint gas smell near the furnace, a hiss at a fitting or a bill that doesn't add up. We find the leak, repair it and pressure-test the line before we leave. Serving Columbus homeowners from our office on West Goodale Boulevard.
What to Do If You Smell Gas
With a gas smell, you leave first and call second.
1. Get Out
Leave right away. Don't flip switches, unplug anything or start the car in an attached garage.
2. Call From Outside
Once you're outside, call Columbia Gas of Ohio or 911. Don't go back in until they say it's safe.
3. Then Call Us
Once the area is cleared, we'll find the source and repair it.
Warning Signs of a Gas Line Problem
Gas piping fails slowly. Watch for:
A Rotten Egg Smell
Gas utilities add that smell so leaks are easy to notice. Even a faint one is worth checking.
A Hiss Near a Line or Appliance
A hissing or whistling sound near a fitting or connector can mean gas is escaping.
A Higher Gas Bill
If your bill jumps and your usage didn't, gas may be going somewhere it shouldn't.
Dead Grass Over a Buried Line
A brown strip in the yard over a line to a grill or detached garage can mean an underground leak.
Gas Leak Detection
Every gas repair starts with finding the leak. We pressure-test the system and use gas detection equipment from the meter to each appliance, checking fittings, valves and flexible connectors that are easy to miss.
If you've noticed a faint smell, a higher bill or a hiss you can't find, a leak check gives you an answer before it becomes an emergency. If the smell is strong, get out and call Columbia Gas of Ohio or 911 from outside first.
Gas Line Problems in Columbus Homes
About 1 in 4 Columbus homes was built before 1960. Gas piping in those homes has been in the walls and basement for a long time.
Original Black Iron Piping
Older homes often run on original black iron gas piping. Fittings and valves corrode slowly, and small leaks can go unnoticed.
Old Appliance Connectors
Older flexible connectors on ranges, dryers and water heaters wear out and crack. They're one of the most common leak points we replace.
Buried Lines to Garages and Grills
Before any digging to reach a buried line, OUPS (Ohio811) marks the other utilities in the yard. We make that call before we dig.

Pressure testing and gas detection equipment, from the meter to each appliance.
We pressure-test the system and use gas detection equipment along the line from the meter to each appliance, including fittings, valves and connectors. See gas leak detection.
We don't recommend it. Gas work needs the right tools, permits and a pressure test.
We don't recommend it. A gas repair needs the right fittings, a permit where required and a pressure test to prove it holds. A connection that seems fine can leak slowly and create a hazard you won't notice right away.
After we see it. You get a flat rate before any work, and it doesn't change once you agree.
We don't quote gas repairs over the phone, because the fix depends on what we find. A technician checks the line and gives you a flat rate before any work begins. That number doesn't change once you've agreed to it, and if the scope changes, we talk with you first.
