Gas Line Installation & Repair in Austin, TX
We install, repair and replace gas lines across the metro. In Texas, only a licensed plumber with a gas endorsement can legally work on a gas line, so this is never a DIY or handyman job.
Every line we touch gets pressure-tested, permitted and left up to code, whether we're running a new line to your grill or tracking down a leak in an aging one.
Smell gas right now? Treat it as an emergency. Leave the house, and from a safe distance call 911 or Texas Gas Service at 800-959-5325. Don't flip switches, use a phone near the leak or light anything. Once the gas is shut off and the area is safe, call us to find and repair the leak.
Our Gas Line Services
Gas line installation
New gas lines for appliances, outdoor kitchens and home additions, sized right and inspection-ready.
We install gas lines for just about any project, including the heating side of your HVAC system, your water heater, a stove or barbecue, a fireplace or fire pit, a pool heater, a dryer, a standby generator, a home addition, new construction and more.
Gas line repair and replacement
Fixes for corroded, damaged or aging lines, including older systems and lines stressed by the Central Texas shifting clay soils.
Gas leak detection and repair
Once the gas company has shut off the gas, we pinpoint the leak using electronic sensors, pressure testing and odor detection. Then we repair the line and pressure-test it to a zero-drop reading before service is restored. Most repairs take two to four hours.
What Our Customers Say
Gas Line Repair & Leak Search Pricing
What you pay depends on what we find and how much of the line we have to trace. You'll always get an upfront quote before we start, and we offer financing on larger repairs. Typical ranges:
| Service | Typical cost |
| Repair at an accessible appliance connection | $325 |
| Gas system pressure test, when the utility has locked out the meter | $475 |
| Extensive leak search, tracing the line across the property | $1,200 to $2,000 |
| Emergency or after-hours service call | $199, added to the repair |
Our repair rates stay the same day or night. The $199 covers the plumber's overtime, not a markup on your repair. Every job is permitted, pressure-tested and left up to code.

Gas Leak & Gas Line FAQs
A rotten egg or sulfur smell is the clearest sign, since gas is odorless on its own. Hissing near a line points to a large leak and is uncommon. Dead plants over an outdoor line or headaches indoors show up less often, since the odor usually reaches you first.
Most repairs at an accessible appliance connection run about $325, and a full pressure test is $475. See the pricing table above for leak searches and after-hours calls.
On private property, gas lines usually sit just 12 to 18 inches deep, so it's easy to hit one. Before any project breaks ground, contact Texas811 at least two business days ahead. It's free and it's state law, and your gas provider will mark its lines at no charge.
