Is the leak concealed or underground after the meter? If the gas lines are concealed it would be a good idea to have them pressure test the lines after the repair.It's a PIA because you have to isolate the lines from the meter, and ALL the appliances. The reason for that is the incoming pressure after the meter is usually 7-11 inches water column,which is roughly 1/4 of a pound. 28 inches water column is a pound.
The pressure test should be 15 pounds ( I use nitrogen) for 15 minutes. That is what the gas code in Ontario calls for.
