Gas Leak Repair in Topeka, KS

Safe, Professional Gas Leak Repair by a Licensed Master Plumber

A gas leak is a serious safety hazard that demands immediate attention from a qualified professional. I’m Jamie O’Harra, owner and operator of O’Harra’s Plumbing Service, and I provide trusted gas leak repair in Topeka and Northeast Kansas.

With over 27 years of plumbing and gas line experience, I personally handle every gas job to ensure safety, compliance, and long-term reliability. As a licensed master plumber, I follow Kansas safety codes and use approved testing methods to locate and repair leaks quickly and accurately.

If you suspect a gas leak, turn off the gas supply if safe to do so, evacuate the area, and contact your utility company before calling for service. Once it’s safe, I can inspect and repair your gas system to restore it safely.

Why Gas Line Safety Matters

Natural gas and propane are efficient energy sources, but they must be handled with care. Even a small leak can lead to fire, explosion, or carbon monoxide exposure. Common causes of gas leaks include:

  • Aging or corroded gas piping

  • Loose or failed fittings and joints

  • Damage during construction or landscaping

  • Improper installation of appliances

  • Movement or shifting of buried gas lines

With a thorough inspection and precise repairs, I make sure your system is safe, secure, and ready to operate correctly again.

Pressure Testing and Safety Inspections

After every repair or installation, I perform a full pressure test to confirm there are no leaks and that the system operates safely under normal use.

Faucet Upgrades and Modernization

I install or replace manual shut-off valves for appliances and main lines so you can safely isolate gas flow when needed.

Signs You May Have a Gas Leak

Gas leaks aren’t always visible, but you may notice one or more of these signs:

  • Smell of rotten eggs or sulfur

  • Hissing or whistling sounds near gas lines or appliances

  • Dead or dying vegetation near buried gas lines

  • Higher-than-usual gas bills

  • Headaches, dizziness, or nausea indoors

If you notice these signs, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. Once cleared for safety, I can inspect and repair the system properly.a
