Twin Cities Gas Line Repair

  • Licensed gas line repair for Minneapolis homeowners
  • Safe, code-compliant work; all repairs inspected & permitted
  • Smell gas? We treat it as an emergency — call us now

Gas line repair isn’t a job for just any plumber. It requires specific licensing, the right equipment to pressure-test and locate leaks, and a commitment to doing things by the book. Northern Benjamin Franklin Plumbing has been trusted by Minneapolis and Twin Cities homeowners to handle gas line repairs, extensions, and new installations safely and correctly. We serve the full metro — Minneapolis, St. Paul, Maple Grove, Coon Rapids, Eden Prairie, Bloomington, Anoka, Ramsey, and beyond — and every job is permitted, inspected, and backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Full Twin Cities metro

Workmanship guaranteed

Gas leaks aren’t always obvious. If you notice any of the following, stop using gas appliances and call a licensed plumber immediately:

You might smell or hear it

Rotten egg or sulfur smell near appliances

Hissing or whistling near gas lines or meters

Dead or discolored vegetation above buried lines

You might feel it

Unexplained headaches, dizziness, or nausea indoors

Higher than usual gas bills with no change in usage

Appliances with weak or irregular flames

âš  If you suspect an active leak: leave the building, don’t use switches or appliances, and call 911 or your gas utility first. Then call us.

Gas line repair cost depends on where the leak is, how accessible the line is, whether permits are required, and the scope of the fix — a simple valve replacement is a very different job from rerouting a buried line.

We don’t price gas line work over the phone — and any plumber who does should raise a flag. The only way to get an accurate number is a proper diagnosis. Northern Benjamin Franklin will inspect the line, explain exactly what needs to happen, and give you a clear quote before any work starts.


Can a plumber repair gas lines, or do I need a separate contractor?
In Minnesota, licensed plumbers are authorized to perform residential gas line work. Northern Ben Franklin holds the required licensing to safely repair, replace, extend, and install gas lines, so homeowners do not need to hire a separate contractor.

What should I do if I smell gas in my home?
Leave the home immediately and avoid using electrical switches, appliances, or open flames. Once safely outside, contact 911 or your gas utility provider. After the area has been deemed safe, Northern Ben Franklin can inspect the gas line, locate the issue, and complete the necessary repairs.

Do gas line repairs require a permit in Minneapolis?
Yes. Gas line work in Minneapolis and throughout most Twin Cities communities typically requires permits and inspections. Northern Ben Franklin handles the permitting process as part of the job to ensure all work remains code-compliant and properly documented.

Can you add a gas line for a new appliance or outdoor grill?
Yes. Northern installs and extends gas lines for stoves, dryers, fireplaces, generators, water heaters, outdoor grills, and other gas appliances. We evaluate the existing gas system, verify capacity, and install the new line according to local code requirements.

How do you locate a gas leak?
Northern uses professional pressure testing and gas detection equipment to accurately identify the source of the leak without unnecessary damage or guesswork. Once located, we explain the issue clearly and outline the recommended repair options.
