Safety first
Natural gas leaks can make people sick and can cause fires or explosions. If you smell gas, don't look for the leak yourself. Leave the building immediately. Do not operate switches, flames, appliances or phones inside. From a safe location call 911 and the gas utility. Do not re-enter until cleared. Plumbing Doctor can discuss eligible repair work after the utility/authorities declare the site safe; scope of the repair work requires confirmation.
New gas lines
Switching from an electric to a gas range or adding a gas dryer needs a properly sized line. Too small a line starves appliances when several run at once. We size the run for everything on it, install shut-off valves at each appliance and pressure-test before turning the gas on. We don't work on outside grill, fire pit or generator lines, or on fireplace lines. Certain other gas work needs confirmation of scope, so contact us before you plan it.
Repairs
We replace leaking fittings, corroded sections and old flexible connectors, and move gas lines during kitchen and basement remodels.
