There are several ways to price out a gas leak repair. There is a base price to show up and perform the test. From there some companies charge by the hour and others by the leak. We have chosen to charge by the leak. I have seen many companies that charge by the hour and drag out these tests for much longer than necessary. They insist on waiting out the entire duration of the pressure test, even though they see there is a leak.

Often they will repair one leak at a time, knowing there are others only to waste 45 minutes to an hour per leak.

Most of the times this questions cannot be answered until the gas technician is well into the repair. The minimum time a gas leak repair takes is one hour. On average our process takes 4 –7 hours however we have had situations where it can take 8 – 12 hours.

After we perform our pressure test, we will exhaust all the possibilities of the gas leak being in an unfinished portion of the basement. Once we have confirmed that these lines are sealed, there is a possibility we will have to cut into the ceiling or walls to locate additional gas leaks.

No. the last thing we want to do is start cutting out ceilings and drywall, however in the event that we have to, we try to keep our cut outs to a minimum.  We will tarp the flooring to ensure minimal dust. We do not repair the basements after the gas line has been fixed.
