Gas work is the one part of plumbing where a small mistake is not a small problem. Every gas line we install or repair is pulled under permit. We pressure test it, and an inspector signs it off before we call it finished. Houston Plumbing Services ® is licensed and insured under License # 417114.

Residential Gas Line Services

Gas Line Installation

Adding a gas range, a tankless water heater, an outdoor grill or a pool heater means running a new line. We size the pipe for the new appliance and for everything already on the system. Nothing starves for gas when two things run at once.

Gas Line Repair

Older black iron pipe corrodes, and buried line can be damaged by digging or by ground movement. We locate the fault, cut out the bad section, and test the repair under pressure before the gas goes back on.

Leak Detection and Testing

If you suspect a leak, we isolate the line and put it under air pressure. A pressure drop tells us gas is escaping. We then trace the run to find the exact point rather than opening up walls on a guess.

Appliance Connections

Ranges, dryers, water heaters and fireplace logs all need a correct connector, shutoff and sediment trap. We make the connection, check it for leaks, and leave the shutoff somewhere you can actually reach it.

If You Smell Gas, Do This First

Natural gas has a rotten egg smell added to it so you can notice a leak. If you smell it indoors, treat it as an emergency.

1.Get everyone out of the house.
2.Do not turn switches or appliances on or off. Do not use a phone inside.
3.From outside and away from the building, call 911 and your gas utility.
4.Call us once the gas is shut off and the property is safe.

We are available 24/7 for emergencies. The fastest way to reach us is 713-231-3309.

Permits and Inspections in Houston

New gas lines, line extensions and most gas repairs need a permit and a final inspection from the City of Houston or your local municipality. Texas also requires a licensed plumber for gas piping.

We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job. That matters later as well as now. Unpermitted gas work can void a home insurance claim, and it turns up during the inspection when you sell.

How the Job Runs

✔We look at the appliance, the run and the existing system, then quote the work.
✔We pull the permit before any pipe is cut.
✔We install or repair the line and pressure test it.
✔The inspector signs it off, and we relight and check every appliance on the system.

Gas Line Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I smell gas in my house?

Leave the house straight away. Do not switch anything on or off, and do not use a phone indoors. Once you are outside and away from the building, call 911 and your gas utility. Call us after the gas has been shut off and the property is safe.

Do I need a permit for gas line work in Houston?

Yes. New gas lines, extensions and most repairs need a permit and a final inspection from the City of Houston or your local municipality. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job.

Can I run a gas line myself?

No. Texas requires a licensed plumber for gas piping. Unpermitted work can void your home insurance and it will show up when you sell the house. It is also the kind of mistake that does not announce itself until something goes wrong.

How do you find a gas leak?

We isolate the line and put it under air pressure, then watch whether the pressure holds. A drop means gas is escaping somewhere. We then trace the run with a gas detector and soap testing to find the exact point before we open anything up.
