Smell Gas Right Now?
Safety comes before any quote. With a strong smell indoors or at the meter:
- Get everyone out, pets included where you can.
- Leave switches alone, keep phone calls for outside, and avoid anything that sparks or burns.
- From the street, make the distributor's emergency line your first call.
After they have declared it safe, we handle the tracing and the repair inside the property. A faint whiff near a cooktop that comes and goes is worth a call to us too.
What Are the Signs?
A gas leak shows itself in a few ways, and none should be brushed off:
- A rotten-egg smell, from an additive put in gas so a leak gets noticed
- Hissing near the meter, a bayonet outlet or an appliance connection
- Burners on the cooktop showing orange or yellow flames instead of blue
- A strip of dead lawn or plants above a buried gas pipe
- Pilot lights that keep going out with no obvious cause
A leak does not seal itself, and a small one can grow. Tracing it now costs far less than dealing with what an unchecked leak can cause.
How We Find and Repair It
- 01
Isolate first
We confirm the supply is shut off before testing starts, and nobody works on a live leak.
- 02
Pressure test
The pipework is pressurised and watched, and a falling gauge shows which section is losing gas.
- 03
Pinpoint it
A gas detector is worked along that section joint by joint until the leaking fitting is found. Buried lengths are located first with a pipe locator so only the right spot is dug.
- 04
Fix and retest
The faulty fitting, hose or length is renewed, the pipework goes back under test pressure, and a licensed gas fitter certifies it.
What Shapes the Cost?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
The figure rests on:
- How much pipe has to be traced, since a fault near the meter turns up faster than one at the end of a long buried run
- What the repair involves, from one perished hose to a replaced section of pipe
- Whether the leaking length is exposed or needs locating and careful digging to reach

When We're Not the Right Call
Faults in the street main or the meter itself are handled by the gas distributor, so that call is theirs. From the meter outlet into the house, the pipework, fittings and appliance connections are ours.

FAQs
What should I do first if I can smell gas inside my Maryland home?
Get everyone out, leave switches and flames alone, and phone the gas distributor's emergency number from the footpath. When they have made it safe, ring us; one of our gas fitters then chases down and repairs the leak inside your property.
How do gas fitters find a leak without pulling the house apart?
A pressure test shows which section of pipe is losing gas, and a detector then works along that section fitting by fitting until the leak shows itself. That keeps any opening-up to one small spot rather than a whole wall.
Are older Maryland homes more at risk of gas leaks?
Age does matter. Homes from the 1970s to 1990s build waves have fittings, seals and appliance hoses that have aged for decades, and perished rubber or a loosened joint is more likely there than in a house built recently.
Do you repair the leak on the same visit?
If the fault is a fitting, hose or joint inside your property, yes. We fix it, retest the whole line and certify it before leaving. A fault out at the meter assembly or in the road is the distributor's.
