Chapter 01
What to watch for on a gas line
A gas line rarely announces a problem loudly. The signs tend to be smaller: the smell of gas near an appliance or the meter, a hissing sound close to a fitting, a gas bill that climbed without any change in how you use the house, corrosion or rust showing on exposed pipe, a burner flame that has gone yellow or orange instead of a clean blue, or a pilot light that will not stay lit.
If you smell gas, get everyone out of the house and call your gas utility from outside. Then call us for the repair. That order matters: the utility is set up to respond to a leak fast and safely, and we handle what comes after, once the line has been made safe to work on.

Repair, installation, pressure testing and leak detection
Our crew is qualified gas contractors, and the work covers the line itself end to end: repair, new installation, maintenance, pressure testing and leak detection. A generator that runs on natural gas or propane needs its own dedicated gas line sized and installed correctly, and that is routine work for us as well, not a special order.
Pressure testing and leak detection are part of what we offer on gas line work, alongside repair and new installation.
