Gas Line Repair in Westminster, CO
If you smell gas right now, leave the house first. Take everyone outside and leave the door open behind you. Do not touch a light switch, a phone or the thermostat on your way out.
From a safe distance, call your gas utility at the emergency number printed on your bill. They shut the gas off at the meter.
Call us after that. We do the gas line repair in Westminster, CO once the line is safe to work on.
A licensed plumber does gas work
Most homeowners assume gas lines belong to the gas company or to a heating contractor. In Colorado, the fuel gas piping inside your property line is plumbing, and a licensed plumber does the work.
My Buddy The Plumber was founded by Thomas, a master plumber with 28 years of residential experience. Gas piping is part of that license.
What we do on a gas call
Our scope covers repair, testing and leak location. The visit follows five steps.
The utility handles the meter. We handle everything on your side of it, and we deal with their paperwork so you are not the one chasing it.
A gas smell with no obvious source sometimes turns out to be a water problem instead, which is where leak detection comes in.
Signs of a gas leak that are easy to miss
The rotten egg smell is the obvious one. Utilities add that odorant on purpose, because natural gas has no smell of its own.
The subtler signs get missed. Listen for a hiss near an appliance connection. Look for a patch of dead grass above a buried line, or a gas bill that climbs while your usage does not.
Headaches or dizziness that clear up when you go outside deserve a call to the utility the same hour.
Permits and inspection in Colorado
Gas work gets permitted and inspected. The permit comes from the city or county that covers your address. Westminster, Adams County and Jefferson County each have their own process.
We pull the permit and meet the inspector. That record protects you at resale, and it is the reason an unpermitted repair by a handyman costs more in the end.

FAQs
Common questions
Do I call the gas company or a plumber first?
The gas company, every time, if you can smell gas. They shut off the supply at the meter. We take over once the line is safe.
Can a handyman repair a gas line?
No. Colorado requires a licensed plumber for fuel gas piping, and the work has to be permitted and inspected.
How long does a gas line repair take?
A single joint or a short section is usually a same-day job. Buried lines out to a garage or a grill take longer, because of the excavation and the inspection.
Do you charge extra at night?
No. There is no additional charge for nights, weekends or holidays.
