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.
Gas Line Repair and Replacement Services
Gas Leak Detection and Repair
Using professional testing equipment and approved methods, I locate the source of leaks—whether they’re at a fitting, valve, or buried section of pipe—and make permanent repairs that meet Kansas safety standards.
Gas Line Repair and Replacement
If a section of line is damaged or deteriorated, I replace it with new, code-compliant materials. All joints are sealed, tested, and pressure-verified for long-term reliability.
Gas Line Installation for Appliances
I install and connect gas lines for stoves, water heaters, furnaces, dryers, and outdoor grills. I ensure correct sizing, venting, and pressure regulation for safe operation.
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
