Signs of a Gas Line Problem

Gas problems are not something to wait on. If you notice any of these, treat it seriously — leave the home if the smell is strong, call Southwest Gas's emergency line first, then call a licensed plumber to find and fix the source.

The smell of rotten eggs or sulfur
Natural gas is odorless on its own — the rotten-egg smell is an additive put in so you can detect a leak. If you smell it, treat it as real.
A hissing sound near a line or appliance
Gas escaping under pressure can make a faint hiss at a fitting, valve, or connector — even when the smell is too faint to notice.
A gas appliance that won't stay lit or burns wrong
Pilot lights that keep going out, or a flame burning yellow or orange instead of blue, can point to a supply or pressure problem on the line.
Dead or dying plants over a buried line
A leak in a buried yard line — to a pool heater or firepit — can kill the grass or plants directly above it as gas escapes into the soil.
A higher gas bill with no change in use
Gas you're paying for but not using is escaping somewhere. A small, slow leak can show up on the bill long before you ever smell it.

What We Do for Gas Lines

New Lines & Extensions
Running new gas to a range, dryer, tankless water heater, or out to a BBQ, firepit, or pool heater. We size the line correctly for the demand, pull the permit where required, and pressure-test before the gas goes on. See ranges on our gas line pricing page.
Appliance Hookups
Connecting gas ranges, cooktops, dryers, BBQs, firepits, and pool heaters — with a code-approved connector, a dedicated shutoff valve, and a leak test at the connection. Quick when the gas is already there; we run the line when it isn't.
Leak Detection & Repair
Locating a leak with a gas detector and pressure test, then repairing the fitting, section, or buried line. We find it before we quote it, and we leak-test the repair before we put the line back in service. No guessing on gas.
Safety First, Always — Done to Code.
Gas is not a job to cut corners on, and we don't. Every line we run is sized for the load, permitted where the work requires it, and pressure-tested before it carries gas. Every connection is leak-checked. As a licensed Arizona plumber (ROC #330883), gas piping is squarely within our scope — and if a job can't be done safely or to code, we'll tell you straight. We'd rather lose the bid than do it wrong.

How We Handle It

01
Assess & Quote
We look at where the gas is, where it needs to go, and what the appliance demands. Then we give you a firm written quote before any work starts — no surprises after.
02
Permit & Plan
We pull the permit where the work requires it and size the line correctly for the load. Undersized gas lines starve appliances — we get the diameter right the first time.
03
Install to Code
Right pipe, properly supported, sealed at every joint, with a dedicated shutoff and sediment trap where code calls for it. Built to pass inspection.
04
Pressure Test & Verify
Before gas goes back on, we pressure-test the line and leak-check every connection. Master plumber review on every gas job — 40 years in the trade.

Gas Work for Phoenix Homes

Plenty of homes across greater Phoenix run on gas — for water heaters, ranges, dryers, and increasingly for outdoor kitchens, firepits, and pool heaters that turn a backyard into a year-round space. We work throughout the Valley: Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Tempe, Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, and Avondale.

A lot of the gas work we see here is outdoor and remodel-driven — extending a line to a patio, converting a tank water heater to tankless, or adding a gas range in a kitchen remodel. Those jobs live or die on getting the line sized right for the demand. We do that part properly, so the appliance performs the way it's supposed to.

Honest, Upfront Pricing

Gas work is priced by what the job actually involves — the length of the run, how far the appliance is from existing gas, and whether the line needs to be sized up. We don't quote a gas job without seeing it, and we give you a firm number before we start anything.

We lay out typical ranges for new line runs, appliance hookups, leak detection and repair, tankless conversions, and the smaller add-ons like sediment traps and shutoff valves on our pricing page.
