Gas Line Repair in Skokie, IL
A faint gas smell in the basement, a red tag from the utility or old piping that once fed appliances long gone. Our licensed plumbers find gas leaks, repair the piping and pressure-test it before service is restored. Our office is on Lincoln Avenue.

When to Call About Gas Piping
Call us when:
A Faint Smell Near the Furnace or Stove
Worth checking right away.
Service Was Shut Off
Repairs and a pressure test come first.
Old Lines Lead Nowhere
Branches to removed appliances should be capped.
Connectors Are Original
Old brass connectors should be replaced.
Gas Leak Detection
We track down gas leaks with electronic detectors and by testing fittings one at a time. After the repair, we pressure-test the whole system to confirm it's tight.
In postwar Skokie homes, we often find leaks at old unions and valves, at original appliance connectors and on branches that were abandoned without being capped properly.
Gas Lines in Skokie Homes
Much of the gas piping in Skokie homes is original black iron from the 1940s to the 1960s.
Unions and Valves Wear
The pipe lasts, but joints and valves loosen after decades.
Abandoned Branches
Lines that once fed stoves, dryers or space heaters should be capped and tested.
New Appliances on Old Lines
Bigger furnaces or ranges may need the line checked for size.

Gas work calls for a licensed pro.
2. A Price You Approve

What Affects the Price of Gas Line Repair
A leak at an accessible fitting is quick to fix. A leak inside a wall or under a floor takes longer to reach. Replacing old connectors or a section of pipe adds to the job. We find the leak and quote a flat price.
