These are the most common questions that we get asked from our customers.
Why Should I Call a Plumber Instead of the Gas Company for a Gas Leak?
If you contact Atmos or CoServ, they will arrive at your home and examine your gas lines to determine if a leak exists in the system. If there is one, they’ll tell you. However, the gas company’s responsibility ends at the meter.
So, if the leak is on your property, they will turn the shut off valve off, lock the meter closed, and tell you to call a licensed plumber.
When this happens, we MUST obtain authorization from the utility company to get the meter unlocked, which requires permits and city inspections. This process can take multiple days, especially if you call on a Friday. It also involves additional administrative steps and processes, permit fees, and multiple trips to your home—all of which end up in a bigger hit to your wallet.
If you call our team first, we can instruct you on how to turn off the gas until we arrive. Then, we can test for and locate any leaks on your property. We fix the leak, turn the meter back on, relight your appliances, and send you on your way with much less time and expense involved.
How Do you Find a Gas Leak?
Some of our trucks are equipped with electronic combustible gas leak detectors. If the gas meter is NOT locked, we can use this piece of equipment to “sniff” for gas leaks.
However, some of our plumbers prefer the old-school method of spraying the various exposed connections with a testing solution that indicates there is a leak by the formation of bubbles. One is not better than the other and either system works if you are trained and experienced.
What is a Gas Pressure Test?
A gas pressure test may be required to restore gas service to your home after a leak. There are two types of gas pressure tests.
Depending upon the situation, one or both might be used to test your system for leaks.
- High-Pressure Test: This test requires us to access all of your appliances and shut off valves so that we can turn them off and test the shut off valve. This is the most common test, and it is required to pass an inspection and receive a green tag or meter release.
- Low-Pressure Test: In this test, we assess past the gas shut off valve and into an appliance or fixture. This is used less often and usually when we think there is a gas leak, but it is not on the actual gas lines.

Call (945) 523-8700Common Causes of Gas Leaks
Gas leaks can occur in various parts of your system due to wear and tear, improper installation, or damage. Common areas for leaks include:
- Gas flex line connectors
