Gas Leak Repair Process

Gas leak repair is a serious concern and should never be attempted by a homeowner or handyman. If the gas service has been shut off by the gas company, the leak will have to be fixed before service can be restored. A permit will be required, and a test will have to be completed to ensure it is fixed properly. Whether your leak is isolated to an appliance, or if it’s a main line gas leak, Trident Plumbing will work rigorously to find the problem and guide you through the repair process. We will get your service restored promptly, so you don’t have to be inconvenienced a day longer.
