Gas piping concerns require safety first. Hafke Plumbing provides residential and commercial gas-line repair in St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay.

“I got multiple estimates and chose Hafke, they sent a guy out who really went above and beyond for a free estimate and didn't get pushy to sell me on anything.”
What to do while help is being arranged
Leave the area
Move people and pets away from a suspected leak without using electrical switches or creating a flame or spark.
Call from safety
Contact the gas utility or emergency services from outside and away from the suspected leak.
Do not re-enter
Wait for the utility or emergency responder to say the area is safe. Do not reopen a valve or restart equipment.
Arrange repair
After the immediate hazard is controlled, contact Hafke with any utility findings and repair requirements.
Service scope
Gas-line work within Hafke's plumbing scope
After the site is safe and any utility requirements are addressed, Hafke can inspect accessible gas piping and define the applicable repair or project scope.
Gas-line repair
Evaluate and repair accessible damaged or leaking gas piping for residential and commercial properties.
Connection correction
Address approved piping, valve, or connection work when the problem and access have been safely identified.
Planned piping changes
Scope gas-piping changes associated with an approved remodel, equipment plan, or commercial plumbing project.
Coordination requirements
Account for utility shutoff, testing, permits, inspection, and restoration steps that may apply to the specific property and work.
Know when to call
Gas-piping concerns that require action
Do not troubleshoot a suspected gas leak yourself. Safety actions and utility instructions take priority over an ordinary service appointment.
Gas odor
Leave the area without operating switches, phones, appliances, flames, or vehicles nearby. Call the gas utility or emergency services from a safe location.
Hissing near gas piping
Treat an unexplained hissing sound near a gas line or connection as a possible leak and follow emergency safety steps.
Utility shutoff or failed test
If the utility has shut off service or identified a piping problem, keep the system off and provide Hafke with the available documentation.
Visible damaged piping
Impact, corrosion, movement, or an altered connection should be evaluated before the affected gas system is used.
Seeing one or more of these signs?
A call can help identify whether the problem needs prompt service or a closer inspection.
Repair planning
The utility and site conditions define the safe path
Gas piping work can involve shutoff, pressure testing, permits, inspections, and utility coordination. Those requirements vary with the location and scope and should be confirmed rather than assumed.
Hafke can explain the plumbing repair after the affected piping is accessible and the site is safe. No one should bypass a shutoff, failed test, or utility direction to restore service early.
