Licensed Gas Line Repair Across the Milwaukee Metro

If your gas line is leaking, corroded, or your appliance won't fire up, Burkhardt Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric's licensed plumbers will diagnose and repair it the same business day in most cases. We've been the trusted plumbing name in Milwaukee since 1946, and we handle every part of your home's gas system from the meter inward — leak detection, pipe replacement, appliance connections, and re-pipes for new gas appliances. Call 414-206-3049 for service today.

Gas Line Services We Provide

• Flex connector replacement — older flex lines with code-compliant alternatives

Common Gas Line Repair Situations

"My oven won't light, but the burners work." Usually a clogged orifice or partial obstruction in the line feeding the oven. We test pressure at the appliance, clean or replace the line, and verify with a leak check.

"I smell gas near my water heater." Most often a deteriorating flex connector or loose union fitting. Quick fixes — same visit in most cases.

"My basement smells like rotten eggs sometimes." Could be a slow leak, sediment trap issue, or backdrafting appliance. We do a full system pressure test to find it.

"I want to add a gas dryer, range, or fireplace." We run a new branch line, install a shutoff valve and sediment trap, and pressure-test the whole system before you fire it up.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gas Line Repair in Milwaukee

How much does gas line repair cost in Milwaukee?

Most repairs fall between $200 and $800 depending on complexity, location, and whether new pipe needs to be run. Simple flex-connector replacements at the appliance are at the low end; full re-pipes for new appliance installations are at the high end. Burkhardt provides flat-rate pricing before any work starts, so you know exactly what it will cost.

Do I need a permit for gas line work in Milwaukee, WI?

For repairs to existing lines, usually no. For new gas line runs, additions, or moves, yes — and Burkhardt handles the permit and inspection coordination on your behalf so you don't have to deal with it.

How fast can Burkhardt respond to a gas line repair call?

Same or next business day for most calls. If you smell gas, We Energies should be your first call (1-800-261-5325) — they'll dispatch immediately and turn off the supply if needed. Once the area is safe, Burkhardt will handle the repair on your home's gas piping.

Is Burkhardt's gas line repair work guaranteed?

Yes. All gas repair work is backed by Burkhardt's standard workmanship guarantee. If a repair fails on workmanship, we come back and fix it at no charge.

Can Burkhardt replace flexible gas connectors?

Yes. Older brass-fitting flex connectors (especially common in homes built before 1990) are a known leak risk and Burkhardt replaces them regularly with code-compliant alternatives. If yours look corroded, weeping, or have yellowish-brass fittings, schedule a check at 414-206-3049.
