Gas Line Work Requires Licensed Expertise — No Exceptions
Gas line plumbing is the one area where cutting corners can be fatal. Natural gas leaks cause explosions, carbon monoxide poisoning, and fires. In Texas, gas piping work must be done by a licensed plumber — and for good reason. Every joint, fitting, and connection has to be tested for leaks before the system goes live. Our technicians are licensed for gas work and carry electronic gas detectors on every truck.
The most common gas line calls we handle across the DFW Metroplex are leak detection and repair, running new lines for appliance additions (ranges, dryers, fire pits, generators, pool heaters, outdoor kitchens), upsizing existing lines for tankless water heaters, and repairing lines damaged during construction or landscaping. When a job touches the utility side, we coordinate with Atmos Energy on your behalf.
Every gas line job gets pressure-tested after completion. We pressurize the system and verify it holds — that's how you know there are zero leaks. We don't eyeball it, we don't rely on soap bubbles alone, and we never skip the test. Period.
If You Smell Gas: What to Do
Leave the home immediately — don't flip light switches, don't use your phone inside, don't start a car in the garage. Natural gas ignites from the smallest spark. Call us from outside or a neighbor's house. We'll respond and coordinate with Atmos Energy if the leak is on the utility side. If the smell is strong or you feel dizzy or nauseated, call 911 first.

Know the Warning Signs
Signs You Need Gas Line Repair & Installation
Catch these early to avoid a bigger, more expensive problem down the line.
Rotten Egg Smell
Natural gas is odorless — the rotten-egg smell is added so you can detect a leak. Even a faint whiff means gas is escaping. Leave immediately and call from outside.
Act NowHissing Near a Gas Line
A hissing sound near a gas pipe, meter, or appliance connection means pressurized gas is escaping. Don't try to tighten the fitting — call a licensed plumber.
Act NowDead Vegetation Over a Gas Line
Plants dying in a line across your yard can indicate an underground gas leak. Escaping gas displaces oxygen in the soil and kills roots.
Watch ThisHigher-Than-Normal Gas Bill
A sudden spike in your gas bill without a change in usage can point to a leak somewhere in the system — even a small one adds up.
Watch ThisPilot Light Keeps Going Out
A pilot that won't stay lit can indicate a gas supply issue or a venting problem. Both warrant a professional diagnosis.
Watch ThisAdding a Gas Appliance
Running a new line or branching off an existing one requires proper sizing, permits, and testing. This is never a DIY job.
