Safety comes before any repair.
Natural gas and propane are odorized so leaks can be detected. If you smell gas or suspect a leak, treat it as an emergency. General safety guidance from gas utilities and safety authorities is consistent:
Leave immediately
Get people and pets out and move to fresh air away from the building.
Don’t create a spark
No light switches, phones, appliances, garage doors, or open flames indoors.
Call from a safe place
Contact your gas utility or 911 from outside or a neighbor’s, not inside.
Let it be cleared
Don’t re-enter until the utility or emergency responders say it’s safe.
We repair and evaluate gas piping — but we’re not a substitute for your gas utility’s emergency response or fire authorities. Emergencies go to them first.
Gas-line services we provide.
Gas-leak evaluation
After the immediate emergency is handled by the utility, we help evaluate and address the piping concern.
Gas-line repair
Damaged, corroded, or leaking sections and failed fittings on accessible gas piping.
Gas-line installation
New runs for a relocated or added appliance — sized and routed for the specific setup.
Appliance connections
Connecting or reconnecting gas water heaters, ranges, dryers, and heating equipment safely.
Shutoff-valve service
Adding or servicing accessible appliance shutoff valves so gas can be isolated when needed.
Pressure & integrity checks
Evaluating accessible piping for leaks, corrosion, and connection integrity as part of service.
Scope, materials, permitting, and inspection requirements vary by project and jurisdiction — we confirm what applies to your specific work rather than assuming.
Gas appliances we connect.
Each appliance has its own connection requirements, shutoff, and clearances. We connect or reconnect common gas equipment and confirm the connection is sound.
Some outdoor or specialty appliances have specific requirements confirmed per project. Installing the appliance itself may involve separate trades.
Physical symptoms — nausea, dizziness, or headaches around gas equipment — should be treated as an emergency: leave and get help.
How a home gas system works.
Fuel enters from a utility meter or a propane tank, passes through a regulator that controls pressure, then travels through distribution piping to each appliance. Each appliance should have its own shutoff so it can be isolated for service.
Natural gas and propane differ in pressure, fittings, and appliance orifices — components aren’t automatically interchangeable. That’s one reason gas work is careful and specific rather than one-size-fits-all.
Our safety-first gas-line approach.
Confirm safety first
An active leak goes to the utility before any repair.
Understand the setup
Natural gas or propane, appliances, and symptoms.
Inspect accessible piping
Connections, fittings, valves, and corrosion.
Isolate before work
Shut off and isolate the affected section.
Repair or install
With suitable materials for the application.
Check & restore carefully
Verify integrity before returning to service.
Permitting and inspection depend on the work and jurisdiction — we confirm what’s required rather than assuming any single rule applies everywhere.
Propane & Rim Country
Many properties here use propane rather than natural gas. Propane runs at different pressures with different fittings, regulators, and appliance requirements, and involves the tank and its own components. Tell us which fuel you have when you call.
Cabins & seasonal homes
When reopening a property, have gas appliances and accessible connections checked before relighting anything. If a pilot is out or you smell gas, don’t force it — follow safety steps and get the system evaluated.
Why gas work isn’t DIY
Improper gas work risks leaks, fire, explosion, and carbon monoxide. Don’t test for leaks with a flame, over-tighten or improvise fittings, or reconnect an appliance you’re unsure about. A working CO alarm is an important safeguard.

Gas-line questions.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave immediately, avoid anything that could spark, and call your gas utility or 911 from a safe location. Don’t attempt to find the leak yourself.
How is natural gas different from propane?
They differ in pressure, fittings, and appliance requirements, and propane involves a tank. Components aren’t automatically interchangeable.
Do you work on propane systems?
Gas-line service is part of our capabilities. Tell us whether you have natural gas or propane so we can confirm the specific requirements.
Can you connect a gas appliance?
Yes — water heaters, ranges, dryers, and heating equipment, when the connection, shutoff, and requirements are suitable.
Why does my pilot light keep going out?
A thermocouple, draft, gas-supply, or appliance issue can be involved. It should be evaluated rather than repeatedly relit.
Is a yellow burner flame a problem?
A burner that should burn blue but appears yellow can indicate a combustion issue and should be checked — don’t ignore it.
Do I need a permit for gas-line work?
It depends on the work and jurisdiction. We confirm what applies to your specific project rather than assuming.
Can you add a gas line for a new appliance?
Often yes — a new run is sized and routed for the appliance and existing system, after evaluating the setup.
Is a carbon monoxide alarm important?
Yes. A working CO alarm is a valuable safeguard around gas appliances. Follow manufacturer and local guidance for placement.
How much does gas-line service cost?
It depends on the work, access, materials, length, appliances, permitting, and inspection — evaluated per project rather than a flat figure.
