Certified Gas Leak Detection & Safety Installations
🚨 Gas Leak Safety Checklist: Act Immediately
Natural gas has a distinctive rotten-egg mercaptan additive for your protection. If you smell gas or hear a hissing pipe:
- • Do NOT touch electrical switches: Flipping a light switch or thermostat can generate an ignition spark.
- • Evacuate immediately: Get all family members and pets outside into fresh air.
- • Shut off gas meter (if safe): Use an adjustable wrench to turn the valve 1/4 turn perpendicular to the pipe.
- • Call for help from outside: Call Atmos Energy or 911 first, then call M. Webb Plumbing at (325) 208-2942.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gas Line Repairs
What should I do immediately if I smell gas in my home?
Evacuate everyone (including pets) immediately. Do NOT touch light switches, unplug appliances, use a landline phone, or start your car near the home, as any small electrical arc can ignite gas. Once outside and safely away, call Atmos Energy (or your local propane provider) or 911. After the emergency responder secures the main shutoff, call M. Webb Plumbing to locate and repair the leak.
Why do I need a licensed plumber for gas line repairs in Texas?
Under Texas law and Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE) regulations, gas piping is strictly classified as plumbing work that can only be performed by licensed plumbers. Gas line repairs require formal pressure testing with a calibrated manometer and city inspection approvals before the utility company will restore your gas service.
How do you test and locate gas leaks?
We isolate the gas piping system, disconnect sensitive appliances, and pressurize the line with compressed air or inert nitrogen. Using digital pressure manometers, we monitor for even the slightest pressure drop over 15 to 30 minutes. We then use electronic combustible gas sniffers and non-corrosive bubbling detection solution to identify the exact fitting or pipe flaw.
Can you run gas lines for outdoor kitchens, patio fire pits, and standby generators?
Yes. We properly calculate gas volume requirements (BTU demand) and pipe sizing to ensure your whole-home generator, pool heater, outdoor grill, or fire pit receives full operating pressure without starving indoor appliances like your furnace or water heater.
