Gas Line Repair and Installation Nationwide

Safety first: if you notice a sulfur or rotten-egg smell, hear hissing near a gas pipe or see dead plants along a buried gas line, get out of the building and call 911 or the gas utility from a safe distance. Leave lights, appliances and phones alone until you are outside. Once the area is safe, we take care of the repair.

Repairs on Your Side of the Meter

Natural gas and propane systems all share the same basic layout: a meter or tank, a run of pipe, and branch lines to each appliance. Leaks show up most often at fittings, valves and old appliance connectors, and in steel pipe that has rusted outdoors or in a damp space. We check the whole system rather than a single joint, fix what we find and retest everything.

• Locating and repairing gas leaks
• Replacing rusted or damaged steel pipe
• Swapping outdated appliance connectors for current ones
• New shutoff valves at appliances and at the meter side
• Bonding checks for flexible stainless gas tubing

New Gas Lines and Appliance Hookups

Adding a gas appliance means more demand on piping that was sized for what the house had when it was built. We calculate the total load and the length of the run before we connect anything, so the new appliance and the existing ones all get enough gas.

• Ranges, cooktops and wall ovens
• Clothes dryers
• Furnaces, boilers and space heaters
• Tankless and storage water heaters
• Grills, fire features, pool heaters and standby generators

Codes, Permits and Digging

Gas codes vary from one state and city to the next, and most gas piping work needs a permit and an inspection wherever you live. Any outdoor line that goes underground starts with a call to 811, the national call-before-you-dig number, so existing utilities are marked first.
