Gas leaks are pretty scary. You can’t see them and they can persist for months before you even notice the strange sulfurous “rotten egg” smell. Most people think of calling their gas company first, but they will refer you to a plumber—and there are only certain plumbers qualified to do this type of work.
Our Atlanta gas leak repair team has the equipment and the experience to assess the problem, find the leaks and make sure your furnace, water heater, and stove are functioning at normal capacity.

If you suspect that you have a gas leak, you should call your local gas company or 911. In Atlanta, you will call Atlanta Gas Light: (877) 427-4321
In emergencies, calling 911 or your gas company will be the fastest way to address concerns about a dangerous gas leak. Your gas company or the fire department will respond and turn off your gas at the meter after they turn off your service. You will then be advised to call a certified plumber.
In non-emergencies, call your gas company with your concern. It may result in them dispatching a tech to your home, or they may advise you over the phone to contact a plumber. If they do come to your home, the technician will make some assessment of your concern. If they determine a considerable liability, they will turn off your service at the meter and advise you to call a plumber.
