We safely run new, properly sized black-iron or approved flexible piping to supply commercial-grade ranges, residential ovens, and clothes dryers, ensuring the gas volume meets the appliance specifications.

Pressure Testing and Repair

If the utility company shuts off your gas due to a suspected leak, they will not turn it back on until a licensed professional performs a successful pressure test. We isolate the system, pump it with compressed air, and monitor a calibrated gauge. If the pressure drops, we methodically trace the piping using electronic sniffers and specialized leak-detection solutions to find and repair the failing joint.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is involved in a gas pressure test?

  A pressure test involves capping all the gas lines, filling the pipes with compressed air to a specific PSI required by code, and attaching a gauge. If the gauge holds steady for the required duration, the system is secure. If it drops, there is a leak that must be found and fixed.

• Can I use flexible tubing for my stove?

  Yes, but it must be an approved, corrugated stainless steel connector of the correct diameter, and it can only be used for the final connection from the rigid wall pipe to the appliance. Flexible tubing cannot be routed through walls, floors, or cabinets.

• Who is responsible for the gas pipe coming into my building?

  Generally, the utility company is responsible for the gas main in the street and the service line up to the gas meter. The property owner is responsible for all the interior piping that runs from the meter to the individual appliances.
