Yes, Plumbers Work on Gas Lines
It’s one of the most common things we hear: “I didn’t know plumbers did gas.” They do. A licensed plumber is exactly who you call to run a new gas line, figure out why a gas appliance isn’t getting what it needs, or find and fix a leak in the piping inside and around your home.
Gas work is something we like doing, and something we do carefully. When you know what you’re doing, gas piping isn’t complicated, but it has to be done right every time. Simply Plumbing handles residential gas lines across Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee.
If You Smell Gas Right Now
Leave the house first. Don’t flip light switches or use anything that could spark. Once you’re outside, call your gas company or 911. They’ll come check it out and, if they find a leak, shut off or lock your meter to make things safe.
Simply Plumbing is not a first responder. We’re the plumber you call next, once the gas company has made it safe and you need the leak found and repaired.
When the Gas Company Locks Your Meter
We get this call almost every month. A homeowner smells gas and calls the gas company. The gas company finds a leak on the house side of the meter, locks the meter, and now there’s no heat, no hot water, and no stove until a plumber fixes it. Here’s how that goes with Simply Plumbing:
- 1
Call or text (931) 993-2525
Let us know the meter is locked and what the gas company told you.
- 2
Find the leak
We check fittings, connections, and appliance hookups and test the system section by section to narrow down where the gas is escaping. No service fee to come out.
- 3
A price before the repair
You’ll know what the repair involves and what it costs before any work starts.
- 4
Repair and test
The leak is repaired and the system is tested to make sure it holds.
- 5
Gas back on
Once the repair is done, the gas company can come back out and turn your meter on.
New Gas Line Installation
Adding a gas appliance, or switching from electric to gas? We run new gas lines sized for what you’re connecting, routed neatly, and tested before anything is turned on. Common residential jobs include:
- Gas ranges and cooktops
- Gas dryers
- Outdoor grills and patio kitchens
- Gas fireplaces and gas logs
- Home standby generators
- Tankless water heaters and gas water heaters
Gas System Troubleshooting
Not every gas problem is a leak. Sometimes an appliance gets a weak flame or won’t stay lit because the line feeding it is too small, especially after something new was added to the system. A tankless water heater, for example, can draw a lot more gas than the tank it replaced. We look at the whole system, from the meter to the appliance, and tell you what’s actually wrong instead of guessing.
If the issue turns out to be the water heater itself rather than the gas supply, we can handle that too, all in one visit and with one company.
