Service Overview
Gas Line Repair Backed by 65+ Years of Local Experience
Gas line problems don't announce themselves at a convenient time. Whether you've noticed the smell of rotten eggs near an appliance, a sudden spike in your gas bill, or a hissing sound behind a wall, the stakes are too high to wait. A leaking or damaged gas line puts your family, your tenants, or your employees at risk — and the longer it goes unaddressed, the greater the danger. The right move is to get everyone out, ventilate the space, and call a licensed professional immediately.
Lapin Services has been Central Florida's trusted plumbing and underground utilities specialist since 1958. Our licensed technicians are trained to locate, assess, and repair gas line damage safely and correctly — from small residential leaks to complex commercial underground repairs. We follow all Orlando and Orange County code requirements, handle permitting and documentation, and test every repair before we leave. When your gas line needs attention, Lapin is ready.
Problems We Solve
Common Gas Line Repair Problems We Fix
Here are the issues our team commonly finds and resolves during gas line repair calls across Central Florida.
Gas Line Leaks
Corrosion, aging fittings, ground movement, or accidental damage can all cause gas to escape from your lines. Even a small leak is a fire and health hazard. Our technicians use pressure testing and leak detection equipment to pinpoint the source and repair it completely.
Corroded or Deteriorated Pipes
Older galvanized or bare steel gas lines are prone to rust and corrosion over time — especially in Florida's humid environment. Corroded pipe walls weaken and eventually crack or fail. We assess the full line condition and replace deteriorated sections before they become emergencies.
Damaged Underground Gas Lines
Landscaping, excavation, root intrusion, or soil shifting can crack or crush underground gas lines. These breaks are hard to detect without the right tools. Lapin's crews are experienced in underground utility work and can locate, excavate, and repair buried gas line damage safely and to code.
Faulty or Failing Fittings and Connectors
The joints and connectors where gas lines meet appliances, meters, or branch lines are common failure points. Loose, cracked, or improperly installed fittings can allow gas to seep out slowly — sometimes undetected for weeks. We inspect the entire connection path and reseat or replace any failing hardware.
Gas Line Damage from Construction or Renovation
Remodeling projects, drywall work, or accidental nail and screw penetrations can nick or puncture gas lines inside walls or floors. If you suspect a line was hit during renovation, stop work immediately and call Lapin. We'll assess the damage and make a safe, documented repair.
When to Call
Signs Your Gas Line Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these warning signs, schedule gas line repair before the problem becomes more disruptive or expensive.
Smell of Rotten Eggs or Sulfur
Natural gas is odorless on its own, but utility companies add mercaptan — a compound that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur — so leaks can be detected. If you smell it indoors or near your meter, leave immediately, avoid open flames or switches, and call us from outside. This is a gas leak until proven otherwise.
Hissing or Whistling Near Gas Lines or Appliances
A hissing sound near a gas line, meter, or appliance connection is a strong indicator of escaping gas. Even a faint, intermittent sound warrants immediate investigation by a licensed technician — do not attempt to locate or fix it yourself.
Unexplained Spike in Your Gas Bill
If your gas usage has jumped significantly with no change in habits or weather, gas may be leaking somewhere in your system. Higher-than-normal consumption without explanation is one of the most common early warning signs of a slow leak in supply lines or connectors.
Dead or Dying Vegetation in a Specific Area
An underground gas leak can kill grass, plants, or shrubs directly above the damaged pipe — even in an otherwise healthy yard. A visible patch of dead vegetation along the path of your gas line is a telltale sign that gas is escaping underground and needs immediate attention.
Appliances That Won't Stay Lit or Have Weak Flames
If your stove burners, water heater, or furnace struggles to ignite, produces an unusually low flame, or frequently goes out, insufficient gas pressure may be reaching the appliance — which can signal a leak or blockage somewhere in the supply line. Have a licensed technician inspect the full line before continuing use.

FAQs
Gas Line Repair FAQs
What should I do if I smell gas in my home?
Leave the building immediately — do not turn on or off any lights or switches, and do not use your phone inside. Once you are outside and a safe distance from the building, call Lapin Services at (407) 326-3367 and contact your gas utility company. Do not re-enter until a licensed technician has confirmed the line is safe.
How do I know if I have a gas leak?
The most common signs are the smell of rotten eggs or sulfur, a hissing or whistling sound near a gas line or appliance, a sudden unexplained spike in your gas bill, dead patches of vegetation above an underground line, or appliances that won’t ignite or hold a flame. If you notice any of these, treat it as a potential gas leak and call a licensed professional immediately.
Is gas line repair something I can do myself?
No. Gas line work is regulated by state and local codes and must be performed by a licensed contractor. Attempting DIY repairs on a gas line is extremely dangerous and illegal in Florida. Improper repairs can cause fires, explosions, or carbon monoxide buildup. Lapin Services is licensed (CFC1428594) and equipped to handle repairs safely and in full compliance with all applicable codes.
How long does a gas line repair take?
Repair time depends on the location and extent of the damage. Many residential gas line repairs are completed in a few hours. Underground repairs or more complex commercial jobs may take longer. Once our technician assesses your situation, we’ll give you a clear timeline before work begins so you know what to expect.
Do you handle emergency gas line repairs after hours?
Yes. Lapin Services is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for gas line emergencies. Call us at (407) 326-3367 any time — day, night, weekends, or holidays. Gas emergencies don’t follow a schedule, and neither do we.
Will the repair require permits?
In most cases, yes — gas line repairs in Orlando and Orange County require permits and inspection to ensure the work meets code. Lapin Services handles all permitting and documentation on your behalf. We coordinate with local inspectors and provide you with the completed paperwork when the job is done.
How much does gas line repair cost in Orlando?
The cost varies depending on the type of repair, the length of pipe affected, whether excavation is required, and permitting fees. Lapin Services provides honest, upfront pricing before work begins — no surprise charges. Call us at (407) 326-3367 for a no-obligation assessment and estimate.
Do you repair both residential and commercial gas lines?
Yes. Lapin Services handles gas line repairs for homeowners, landlords, property managers, restaurants, retail centers, and commercial facilities throughout Central Florida. Whether it’s a single-family home or a multi-unit commercial property, our licensed technicians have the experience and equipment to get the job done safely.
