Who should you call for a small gas leak in Tulsa? Call your plumber. A licensed plumber can shut the gas off, find the leak with a pressure test, fix it and turn the gas back on, usually the same day. If the gas company shuts it off, they pull or lock the meter and it stays off until the leaks are fixed and the line passes a city inspection. If the smell is strong, leave the house first and call the fire department or ONG from outside. A whole-house gas pressure test starts at $477.
Gas-line work
We perform gas-line work: running new gas lines to existing fixtures, new fixtures, and new locations, and fixing gas leaks.
Gas-leak response
A customer call about a gas leak is usually classified as an emergency. If we have a technician available, we'll send them out immediately. We'll shut the customer's gas off first, then talk to them and find out where they smell the gas.
Testing the system
As far as gas leaks, we'll shut the customer's gas off, put a gauge on, and put air in the system. Then we'll find the leak that way, so we're not pushing more gas into the customer's home.
Restoring service
Restoring gas service is usually a same-day job once we identify and fix the leak, unless the repair turns out to be especially extensive.
Gas line details
- We do gas pressure tests (for example, when a vacant home's meter was pulled), leak repairs, and full gas repipes when old crawl-space pipe has rusted out.
- We use black iron and CSST (Counter Strike is a brand we like). Most commercial and exposed work uses black iron, and outdoor pipe is painted and protected.
- Permits and pressure tests are handled whenever the job or inspector requires them.
- Smell gas strongly? Leave the house, don't flip switches, and call the fire department or ONG. For a faint, occasional smell, call your plumber.
How the gas comes back on in Tulsa
When a meter has been shut off for a leak, the work needs a City of Tulsa gas permit and inspection. On a recent Tulsa job we found and fixed four leaks, the line held pressure, the inspection passed, and after a passed inspection the inspector contacts ONG to release the meter.
Call your plumber or the gas company?
| Situation | Who to call | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Strong gas smell | Leave the house, then the fire department or ONG | Get out first. Don't flip switches. |
| Small or occasional gas smell | Your plumber | We shut off, pressure test, fix the leak and turn it back on, usually same day |
| Gas company already shut it off | Your plumber | Leaks fixed, permit and inspection, then ONG releases the meter |
| New gas line for an appliance or generator | Your plumber | We run the line, add a shut-off and test it |
Your plumber is your friend, explained by Michael
"Something I'll recommend that every plumber will recommend is if you have a small gas leak, call your plumber. Don't call the gas company. You call the gas company, they're gonna come out, they're gonna shut your gas off, pull your meter, and tell you to call a plumber."
"If we turn it off, we can turn it back on. If the ONG turns it off, we can't turn it back on. We can identify the leak, fix it, get your gas back on, usually same day, unless it's like a very extensive type thing." And in the winter, as Michael points out, you need gas for heat.
