Gas Line Repair in East Haven, CT
If you smell gas, leave the building, don't touch any switches, and call your gas company or 911 from outside. Once it's safe, we handle the repair — pressure-tested, permitted and inspected.
Why East Haven chooses Drain Wizard for gas line repair
Gas work is licensed work, and in East Haven it is also inspected work. We repair and replace fuel lines for furnaces, boilers, water heaters, ranges, dryers, generators, pool heaters and grills, then pressure-test the system and coordinate the town inspection before anything is put back in service. The failures we see most often here are corroded black-iron threads in damp basements, undersized branch lines feeding an appliance that was upgraded years ago, and outdoor runs to grills and generators where salt air has attacked the fittings. Shoreline properties in particular need exterior gas piping checked, because corrosion happens faster within sight of the water.

East Haven gas line repair FAQs
What should I do first if I smell gas?+
Leave the building immediately. Do not flip switches or use anything electrical, don't light anything, and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Once the utility has made it safe, call us for the repair.
How do you confirm there's actually a leak?+
We isolate the system and pressure-test it with a calibrated gauge, which shows whether the system holds and how fast it drops. That result also becomes the documentation for the inspection.
Do I need a permit for gas line work in East Haven?+
Yes. Gas piping requires a permit and inspection. We pull the permit, document the pressure test, and coordinate the inspection before the system goes back into service.
Can you run a new line for a generator or pool heater?+
Yes. We size the line for the appliance's full BTU load along with everything else on the system, and use exterior-rated materials where the run is outdoors — which matters a lot this close to the water.
Why would an existing line be undersized?+
Because the appliance changed and the pipe didn't. A high-output tankless heater or a new range can easily need more gas than the branch it inherited, which shows up as poor performance rather than a leak.
What does gas line repair cost?+
A $125 service charge covers the diagnostic and leak test, and you get a written flat-rate price approved before work begins. The fee is waived when you hire us.
