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.

Where we work

Found my outdoor cleanout that was covered up for years and no other company could find! … They use drop cloths and clean up when they are done.

Leaking pipe right now?

Shut off the water first if you can reach the valve safely, then call us, day or night.

908-873-6686

Outside regular hours and on holidays, emergency service requires a $250 upfront emergency fee. When paid, the standard $49 service fee is waived. During regular hours there is no emergency fee. Additional repairs are quoted before work begins. We respond immediately upon contact; dispatch and arrival depend on availability and location.

Do this now

  1. Shut the main valve. Usually where the water line enters, near the meter.
  2. Stay clear of electricity. Don't enter standing water or touch electrical controls near the leak.
  3. Open a low faucet to drain the pipes and take pressure off the leak.

Gas Line Services: common questions

I smell gas. What should I do?

Leave the building immediately with everyone in it. Do not operate switches, flames, appliances or phones inside, because a spark can ignite gas. 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.

Can you run a gas line for a new range or dryer?

Yes. We run new gas lines for ranges, dryers and water heaters. We size the line for everything that runs on it so appliances get enough gas when several are on at once, put a shut-off valve at each appliance, and pressure-test the line before the gas is turned 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 first.

Do gas lines need a permit in New Jersey?

New gas piping in New Jersey generally needs a plumbing permit and an inspection through your town's construction office. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job, so the work is on record when you sell the house or file an insurance claim.

How often should gas appliance connectors be replaced?

Old uncoated brass flexible connectors, common behind older ranges and dryers, can crack and should be replaced. Connectors that have been kinked, moved many times or are older than the appliance are also worth swapping. We check the connector whenever we work on a gas appliance.

What does a gas leak smell like?

Utilities add a chemical to natural gas so it smells like rotten eggs or sulfur. You may also hear hissing near a pipe or appliance, see dead grass over a buried line, or notice bubbles in standing water outside. Any of these means leave the building and call 911 and the gas utility from a safe location.
