Gas Line Repair & Installation in Tyler, TX
In Texas, gas piping inside a home is plumbing work and needs a licensed plumber with the right endorsement.
Request a plumberIf you smell gas
Leave first. From outside, report it to your gas company. Don't use switches, phones or lighters indoors.
Common jobs
New lines for a range, dryer, water heater, fireplace or outdoor kitchen; repairing a leak; adding a shut-off valve; and pressure testing old lines before a sale or renovation.
Pressure tests
New or repaired gas lines are tested before they go back into service, and many jobs need a city inspection. That's normal and protects you.
Outdoor kitchens and grills
Patios and outdoor kitchens are popular in East Texas. A plumber can run a properly sized line with a shut-off near the appliance.
Flexible connectors
Old appliance connectors can crack. If yours is very old or kinked, have it replaced when the appliance is serviced.
Check the license
The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners keeps a public license lookup. See hiring a licensed plumber in Texas.
Appliance swaps
Switching an electric range or dryer to gas, or adding a gas water heater, often needs a new line sized for the appliance's demand. Undersized lines starve appliances and can cause poor burning, so sizing is part of the job, not an extra.
After the work
Ask for the inspection result and keep it with your house papers. Buyers and insurers sometimes ask for proof that gas work was permitted.
