Gas Leak Detection & Repair in Wimberley
Gas is not a wait-and-see problem. If you smell that rotten-egg odor, get everyone out of the house, do not touch switches or flames, and call from outside. If you can safely reach the shut-off at the meter or propane tank, close it. Then call us. This is one repair where doing it right the first time is not optional.

Request gas leak repair
Many Hill Country homes run on propane rather than natural gas, with lines feeding water heaters, ranges, furnaces, and generators. Buried supply runs, older black-iron piping, corroded fittings, and connections stressed by ground movement in rocky soil all develop leaks over time. Some you smell. Some you only find with proper testing.
We treat gas work with the seriousness it deserves. We locate the leak, pressure test the system to confirm the full extent, make a repair to code, and pull permits and inspection where the jurisdiction requires them. When gas is involved, cutting corners is not something we do.

Gas Leak Repair FAQs
Leave the house with everyone and any pets. Do not flip switches, light anything, or use your phone inside. From outside, shut off the gas at the meter or propane tank if you can reach it safely, then call us. Do not go back in until it is cleared.
Yes. Most Hill Country homes are on propane, and we work on both. We handle supply lines, appliance connections, and new runs for ranges, heaters, and generators on either fuel.
Because a mistake with gas is not a leak you mop up, it is a fire or explosion risk. A permitted repair is done to code, pressure tested, and inspected where required, so an independent inspector verifies the system holds. It is the one area where you should never cut corners or hire a handyman.
Most gas repairs and all new line runs require a permit and inspection, and we handle that where the jurisdiction requires it. That is part of doing gas work correctly, the system gets pressure tested and verified by the authority, not just patched. It also gives you documented proof the work is safe if you ever sell the home.
Yes. We install new supply lines for ranges, water heaters, furnaces, outdoor kitchens, and standby generators on both natural gas and propane.
