The most common sign is a rotten egg smell from the odorant added to natural gas. Others include a hissing sound near a gas line or appliance, dead vegetation over a buried gas line, bubbles in standing water, or physical symptoms like headaches and dizziness indoors. If you suspect a leak, leave immediately and call 911 or your gas utility from outside.
Yes. We install gas lines for ranges, cooktops, dryers, fireplaces and fire pits, outdoor kitchens and grills, pool heaters, garage heaters and standby generators. Each line is sized for the total gas load in the home so every appliance gets the pressure it needs, even when several run at once.
A gas line that is too small starves appliances, which can cause poor flame, sooting, error codes on tankless water heaters and appliances that never reach full output. At Douglas County elevations this matters even more. We calculate the total load and pipe length before installing, and upgrade the main line when adding a large appliance like a tankless water heater.
Yes. New gas lines and most gas line alterations require a permit and an inspection, including a pressure test, before the gas supply is turned on. We handle the permit, perform the pressure test and coordinate the inspection so the work is documented and safe.
We use materials approved for gas service by code, including black steel pipe and corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST) where appropriate. CSST must be properly bonded to the electrical system to protect against lightning, and we follow the manufacturer installation and bonding requirements on every job.
Outdoor gas lines are usually run underground in approved pipe at the correct depth, with a shutoff valve near the appliance. We plan the route, size the line for the appliance and any future additions, pull the permit and pressure test the system before the appliance is connected.
A short line for a range or dryer is often finished in a few hours. Longer runs, outdoor lines and main line upgrades for tankless water heaters or generators can take a full day, plus the time needed for the inspection before the gas is turned on.
