Gas Leak Detection & Repair in League City, TX

A natural gas leak is a severe safety hazard requiring immediate, professional intervention. Natural gas is naturally odorless, but utility companies inject an odorant called mercaptan—which smells distinctly like rotten eggs or sulfur—to alert homeowners to leaks. If you smell gas, hear hissing near an appliance, or notice dirt blowing up from the yard, you must evacuate immediately, avoid flipping light switches or operating cell phones inside, and call emergency services or CenterPoint Energy from a safe distance.

In League City and coastal Galveston County, gas line leaks occur frequently due to two environmental factors: airborne coastal salt air that rapidly corrodes outdoor black-iron gas meter manifolds, and shifting Beaumont clay soil that flexes and cracks buried underground yard lines serving outdoor kitchens, pool heaters, and generators.

When CenterPoint Energy detects a gas leak, they immediately shut off the meter and place a 'Red Tag' on the shutoff valve. By law, the gas company cannot turn your meter back on until a licensed Texas Master Plumber repairs the leak, pulls a municipal permit from the City of League City, conducts a pressure test witnessed by a city plumbing inspector, and submits an official inspection release.
