Dependable gas line repair in Ruston starts with a call you can trust.

The technicians at Albritton Service Company offer gas line repair, installation, and leak detection to homeowners throughout the Ruston, LA area, and we treat every gas line call as the safety matter it is. If something smells off, don’t wait — give us a call at 318-251-0885, day or night.
Our Gas Line Repair Services
Older homes around Ruston and North Louisiana often still run on the same gas piping installed decades ago, and that piping wears out. We repair and replace damaged, corroded, or improperly installed gas lines, whether they’re feeding a furnace, water heater, range, dryer, or outdoor fireplace. Our techs pressure test lines to pinpoint exactly where a leak is occurring instead of guessing.
We also handle new gas line installation and appliance hookups. Adding a gas range, upgrading to a tankless gas water heater, or running a line out to a grill or generator all require a properly sized, correctly installed line — and a technician who knows local code. Albritton handles that installation from start to finish.
Because gas work touches both plumbing and combustion appliances, our team also checks connections at the appliance itself during a repair visit, not just the line leading up to it. That means fewer surprises and fewer return trips.
Signs You Need Gas Line Repair
- A rotten-egg or sulfur smell — Utility companies add this scent to natural gas specifically so leaks are noticeable. Any whiff of it near an appliance, wall, or your meter deserves an immediate call.
- A hissing sound near a gas line or appliance connection — This can mean gas is escaping under pressure at a joint or fitting.
- Dead or discolored vegetation over a buried gas line — Underground leaks can starve nearby grass and plants even before you smell anything indoors.
- A pilot light that won’t stay lit or burns unevenly — This can point to a supply issue further up the line.
- Higher-than-normal gas bills with no change in usage — A slow leak can waste gas without an obvious smell.
- Physical damage to visible gas piping — Dents, rust, or corrosion on exposed lines in a crawlspace or utility area are worth having checked.
If any of these sound familiar, don’t try to diagnose it yourself — call a licensed plumber and let us confirm what’s going on safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a natural gas leak in my home dangerous?
Yes. Natural gas is highly flammable, and even a small leak inside a closed-up home can be serious. That rotten-egg odor is added on purpose so you notice it. If you smell it, get everyone outside and call us at 318-251-0885. Our licensed technicians treat every gas call in the Ruston area as an urgent safety matter.
Can you install a gas line for a new appliance like a range or generator?
Absolutely. We handle new gas line installation and appliance hookups for ranges, dryers, tankless water heaters, outdoor grills, and standby generators. Each one needs a properly sized line installed to local code, so we run and pressure test the new line from start to finish. Call 318-251-0885 and we’ll size the right line for your Ruston home.
How do you find the exact location of a gas leak?
We pressure test the line rather than guessing. By isolating sections and watching for pressure loss, our technicians pinpoint exactly where gas is escaping, whether it’s a corroded joint, a bad fitting, or a damaged buried line. That means we cut into only what needs repair instead of tearing apart more of your home than necessary.
What should I do first if I smell gas?
Don’t flip switches, light a flame, or use your phone indoors. Get everyone outside, leave a door open if it’s quick and safe, and call your gas utility and Albritton Service Company from a safe distance. Once the area is confirmed safe, our technicians locate the source and make the repair. We’re available 24/7 for exactly this.
