Sounds to me like you have an excellent protective wall between you and 'the home inspector missed' ... you have the gas company and their two employees.

To get to you, they have to go through the gas company, and I really doubt the gas company will admit to 'leaving the house with a gas leak', which means 'the gas leak happened *after* they left the house', which was *after* you left the house, and, 'the gas company *made repairs* to pipes/joints' in that location *after* you were there.
