Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency gas line repair throughout Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Rio Rancho, and the surrounding communities. But if you smell gas right now, leave the building first and call New Mexico Gas Company or 911 from outside — the utility makes the scene safe, then we repair it.
The Order of Operations Matters
- Everyone and all pets outside, without touching light switches, appliances, thermostats, or garage door openers
- Do not use your phone inside — call from outside or a neighbor’s
- Call the gas utility or 911 first. They can shut off supply at the meter and confirm the building is safe to re-enter
- Then call us for the repair
- Do not go back inside until the utility or fire department clears it
What We Handle
- Locating leaks with electronic detection and pressure testing
- Repairing or replacing failed sections of gas line
- Appliance connectors, shutoff valves, and fittings
- Corroded buried line repair
- Pressure testing the full system afterward
- Coordination with the utility and permit and inspection requirements
Why We Test the Whole System
A gas system with one failed connection typically has others of the same age and exposure. Repairing the leak you found and leaving without testing the rest is how a house has two emergencies in a month. We pressure test the full line before calling the job done.
Carbon Monoxide Is the Related Emergency
You can smell a gas leak. You cannot smell carbon monoxide from incomplete combustion or a blocked flue — it is odorless, and its symptoms mimic the flu. If a CO alarm sounds, everyone goes outside and you call 911. Working detectors on every level are essential in any home with gas appliances.
Prevention
Annual inspection of gas appliances and connections, which is part of our plumbing inspections and furnace maintenance visits. Flexible appliance connectors are wear items and should be checked whenever an appliance is moved.
