The gas goes off
The furnace, stove and water heater all stop at once.
One rusted fitting, one empty house
No family or business deserves to stand on the sidewalk over one rusted fitting.

When Does a Gas Line Need Repair?
- A gas smell, hissing or a carbon monoxide alarm — leave first, then call 911 or the gas utility from outside
- A dead strip of grass or bubbling water over a buried line
- A melted patch of snow over the line in winter
- Rust and flaking on black iron pipe or fittings
- A new range, dryer, grill or generator that needs its own line
- A failed pressure test after a remodel or an appliance move
What Does the Gas Line Repair Process Involve?
The process starts once the building is clear: anyone smelling gas leaves first and calls 911 or the gas utility from outside, then calls the 24/7 line or sends the form. On site, the plumber locates the leak with a combustible gas detector and a soap test, isolates the section and replaces the failed fitting, connector or pipe. A pressure test confirms the repair holds. Buried lines start with a MISS DIG 811 ticket at least 3 business days ahead, and private lines get a private locate, since MISS DIG leaves them unmarked. Inside Grand Rapids, the work runs on a mechanical permit and stays out of operation until the Mechanical Inspector approves it.
