Boston gas line repair
We've worked on gas line repair jobs across Boston long enough to know what tends to break here, when, and why. Service area covers Boston proper plus the metro suburbs. After-hours is real after-hours, not "we'll get back to you tomorrow."

What a typical call looks like
Property manager call, Boston-area duplex. Both units had intermittent gas smell near the basement furnace. We pulled the system apart and found corroded fitting on a 35-year-old black iron line. Replaced the fitting and pressure-tested the line on the same trip — both tenants happy. $856.
The actual work
Gas line work is regulated. We pull the permit, do the work, and coordinate the utility inspection before the line goes back into service.
Most-common calls: gas-leak detection after the homeowner smells gas, shut-off valve replacement on a 30+ year old appliance line, and new appliance hookups (range, dryer, water heater, fireplace).
If you smell gas, leave the building, call your gas utility's emergency line first (it's free), and call us second. Don't switch lights on or off, don't use phones inside the building. The utility shuts the meter and confirms the leak is on the customer side. Then we come in, find it, and repair.
Material: black iron is still the standard for hard pipe. Yellow CSST is the flexible alternative — easier to install, but needs proper bonding to prevent lightning strike issues. We do both.
Notes on Boston housing stock
If you're inside the city limits, we're typically there inside an hour during business hours. Outside the metro, plan on a bit longer.
